The Wild
a celebration of flora and fauna
This collection highlights the beauty I find in living things. Flowers, leaves on trees. Creatures of water, earth, and air.
There is magic all around us, if we only take the time to look.
Don Agave
This stately agave plant's leaves are as wide as a dinner plate.
The Palouse
Harvest season turns these fertile rolling hills into an agricultural ocean, its standing waves of grain stretch to the horizon. For 50 years, I've worked with nature on this collaborative art: the morning sun paints the land in ochre, purple, and gold; and I etch the patterns and boundaries into the land with my combine.
Hello Gecko

Black-Eyed Susan Delight
Cliffside flowers stretch to reach an endless summer sky
Eye to Eye with a Tropicbird
We spy each other: one bound to earth, the other a master of the air. He hovers in front of me as I stand on the edge of this high cliff. I’m transfixed under his gaze. He’s curious, it seems, as he appraises me. But is there pity, too? Does he sympathize with my futile dreams of flight?
Signs of Autumn
Delicate Japanese maple leaves turning their fall colors
Gateway to Winter
Come, walk a path of freshly fallen snow through woods quiet and deep
Seal Siesta
An endangered Hawaiian monk seal caught napping on a secluded beach
A Poppy's Perspective
What must this lone flower think of its view? Does it drink in the glory of silver sea and sky? Is there joy in the moment, radiating its golden light today, knowing it will be gone tomorrow?
Iridescent Wonder
An Anna's hummingbird resplendent in the late afternoon light
Field of Life
Stand in a summer's sea of wheat that stretches to the horizon. Draw in the sweet scent of ripening grain when the storm's first raindrops strike the earth. Listen to the multitudes of stalks whisper as they dance and bow before the wind. Ask yourself: have you ever been more alive?
The Nectar Within
A native bee collecting nectar
Last of the Autumn Gold
The last golden aspen leaves cling to their branch in a cold late autumn sky
