“Family Reunion”

The elders dance and swirl in their button blankets, calling upon their ancestors to come and to impart their wisdom for “the people” of today.

“The March of Spring"

We often remember bits of spring during the winter; the dancing butterflies, the blooming flowers, the singing meadowlarks outside the windows, we write all those beautiful sounds into the rhythm of spring, desperate for spring in the wintertime

Team USA, Wyoming

“Trunks Optional”

 

A young elephant is contemplating taking a plunge into a pond. He is standing on a diving board that bends down to the water with his weight. A signpost in the water says, “Trunks Optional.” The playfulness of the subject, the textures and balance all combine to make it both challenging and fun.
