I grew up in rural western Wisconsin fascinated by nature.   I learned that it takes patience, intense observation and luck to discover its secrets. Exploring the woods behind my house was a magic adventure. It wasn't long before I began to venture from the woods to the city where I became a maker of art, commercial art director, creative and designer. Through the lens I instantly rekindle those magic adventures. Looking intently, patiently, I capture the secret once again.
