Artist based on the prairies of North Dakota
Art is the only thing I have ever really wanted to do. Being an artist has been my dream from the very beginning. I have never wanted to get rich from my artwork. Instead, I want to be able to make enough to be able to give it away. I believe art brings people together. It heals, it brightens the world. Case Art isn't just another art store, it is my way of helping others through art.
I started this painting last summer. I found this barn while walking through some woods on some state land. I rounded a corner on a small trail and the woods opened up. This barn was standing there in the middle of a little field. It stopped me in my tracks and I just had to honor it in a painting. I painted most of it that day until the threatening rain chased me back to my car. The piece sat in a stack of paintings to finish for a year. A few weeks ago I felt inspired to finish it. Everything in its own time and things rushed never feel true. This piece came to life under my brush and took me on a very special journey, back to that summer day standing in the middle of nowhere.
No matter where life takes me, I vow to never stop using my art to help others. The talents we are given are meant to be cultivated and to be used to improve the lives of our fellow humans. It is a greater gift to give of these talents than it is to use them simply for personal gain.
