What strikes me about compelling artwork is the passion that lies within it. Like great music, it must hold some brand of magical mystery, soulful honesty or it will not move me.

Having grown up in the '50's and '60's, I feel a sense of loss as to what I once considered America to be and what it looked like. In that brokenness and change, there is still a very strong spirit of living. I am drawn to this spirit . . . the hope and hopelessness of life.

My work reflects my life. Small town carnivals, abandoned houses, gravel roads, broken down little towns. I find it everywhere I go, not just here in Iowa. Robert Frank said that he wanted to describe what it felt like to drive into "the sad American night". It is the antithesis of the shiny new America we see on T.V. and in our media. It is a side of life that not everyone knows about, nor cares to. I am drawn to it because it is what I know. I am in love with the oddness of life, its beauty and its honesty.
