River Sojourn

A painter's portfolio of the Mississippi River Blufflands

Through November of 2013, I am hiking goat prairies, following cold water creeks, taking in Mississippi River bluff top views, investigating algifc talus slopes and floodplain forests. With charcoal, pastels, homemade walnut ink and oil paints I willan recording what I see, from broad  panoramas to the diverse life forms that sustain themselves in these places. From my field books and small field paintings, In my studio, I am creating larger works from my field sketches, culminating in a touring exhibit beginning March, 2014. This project brings art and conservation together to celebrate place and to raise the profile of land trust work in the Midwest. 

Put on your virtual hiking boots and join me on the River Sojourn blog as I share my stories, observations, photos, and works in progress as I explore conserved landscapes from Savanna, IL to Lake Pepin WI.
