My landscape and nature pieces represent what I love most about photography and about Kansas. The images are the result of driving through the country roads, finding the perfect spot and getting lost in my art as the sun sets or rises. Colorful skies, green and golden grass and gravel roads inherently find their way into my photography of Kansas, and one of my favorite things is when viewers tell me it reminds them of home.
