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.
Like a coral reef in the ocean, the little lichens reach out from the branches. Circles of apple wood, along with pieces of cherry burl and maple burl surrounded by pebbles. Together the make up a mosaic of rock and wood. So many little details draw the eye around and around.
Lichen Garden is a collection of naturally found organic materials and smoothed pebbles. All the wood comes from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan along Lake Superior. Rocks are both found and bought. Boarder is solid hard wood, red oak. It is 23 x 13 x 1 inches. It can be hung either vertically or horizontally. It is signed on the back by the artist.
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.
