On Monday, April 3rd, 2023 with the morning sun at my back, my camera and I headed west on highway 92 from my rural home in Iowa to my very first artist in residency; a whole week in Waubonsie State Park in the Loess Hills. This exhibit is collection of what I captured during that week but it’s also a culmination of several years of learning, curiosity and a desire to dig deeper into the powerful connection I feel when surrounded by nature.
