I'm delighted to announce that my artworks, titled "Along The Shore," "Elsewhere," "Sacred Places," and "As the Wind Blows," have been selected for display at the prestigious 7th Annual ANJE Exhibition. This exhibition will be held at the esteemed Wausau Museum of Contemporary Art, marking the first time my work will be showcased in this renowned venue. I am truly humbled and honored to be part of this event.

The establishment of a contemporary art museum, such as the Wausau Museum of Contemporary Art, is a remarkable achievement amidst the current social and economic challenges. I have always admired David Hummer for his dedication and talent in bringing this artistic vision to life in the Wausau area.

The museum's mission is to inspire both local residents and visitors from across the nation to appreciate and understand contemporary art. By tapping into the creative energy of our region, they aim to foster meaningful conversations about the power of art to connect us and contribute to the growth and vitality of our community.

Together, we aspire to unlock the creative potential of our region and engage a diverse audience in meaningful discussions on how art unifies us as a community.

Your and Yours Alone


 Featured image: Bottlebrush Waterlily

You as a person must do your thinking, learning and development of a system you can live by.  For me, it is a system of how I relate to nature. And, in turn, how this thinking translates into who I am and how I think and create as an artist.  

It’s hard work and many would rather not do the work, but you cannot be you until you do.

The way you think, learn, and develop should be yours and yours alone.
