ABOUT THE ARTIST

Everyone tries to escape rural small towns, but sometimes they keep calling you back. After years of city living, I moved home to southwestern Minnesota craving open horizons, fresh-cut grass, and dark, starry skies. I came back with a greater appreciation for the natural area where I grew up, and now I photograph the places I love to explore, like the wetlands at Wolf Lake and the trails at Ramsey Park.
