Listen so softly to the gentle winds
gliding through joyful dancing trees
and know Oneness.”

“Even So
Love, if it is love, never goes away.
It is embedded in us,
like seams of gold in the Earth, waiting for light, waiting to be struck.”

~Alice Walker

“The interior landscape responds to the character and subtlety of the exterior landscape; the shape of the individual mind is affected by the land as it is by genes.”

The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say

J.R.R. Tolkien

My images from the Revel Art Gala in Denver last evening. Over 300 guests attended for a celebration of art and inclusion. All silent and live auction proceeds go to supporting neurodivergent teens and adults. This event had many sponsors including the Denver Art Museum and the CU Foundation.

I have four 20x30 images in this charitable event, 9/25. I’ve also donated two 12 by 18 images, matted/framed, and five prints for the silent auction. Last year this auction raised 270k via 20 local artists, for Revel, a nonprofit that supports young adults with autism.

oday I’m sharing an image from 1998, with my photography professor, Suzanne Camp-Crosby, Joyce Tenneson, and the gallery curator/friend, Maida Milan. I’ve had several mentors over the years, but these three years had a profound impact on my photography.

“The landscape conveys an impression of absolute permanence. It is not hostile. It is simply there—untouched, silent and complete. It is very lonely, yet the absence of all human traces gives you the feeling you understand this land and can take your place in it.”

Edmund Carpenter

“Faeries, come take me out of this dull world,
For I would ride with you upon the wind,
Run on the top of the dishevelled tide,
And dance upon the mountains like a flame.”

These are my best friends five years ago hiking way up high, during Covid in 2020. We still #GetOutside every single day, usually in our local National Forest. Yesterday, my little Jack Russell was diagnosed with Cushings disease, she’s 13.5 and has changed a lot recently. She’s my BFF. 🐶 ❤️😔
