Welcome to my studio. I am in my 35th year of owning my art gallery and studio in LaValle, WI. For the first 30 years my store was called Village Artworks....direct and to the point...so I thought. But a good number of people thought it was an antique store. My paintings are acrylic. I paint mostly landscapes of the area I live in, Sauk Co. Wisconsin. I seldom paint exact locations, but rather do compositions. I try to capture the essence of this beautiful part of Wisconsin. I live on a 5-generation family farm which has wonderful views in all directions. The hills across the road from our farm have been my teacher and I Incorporate them in a number of my paintings.
Special thanks to my family and patrons for their patience and continued support.

"The land! That is where our roots are. There is the basis of our physical life. The farther we get away from the land, the greater our insecurity. From the land comes everything that supports life, everything we use for the service of physical life. The land has not collapsed or shrunk in either extent or productivity. It is there waiting to honor all the labor we are willing to invest in it, and able to tide us across any local dislocation of economic conditions. No unemployment insurance can be compared to an alliance between man and a plot of land." Henry Ford
