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.
The bison, often called buffalo, were a vital part of everyday life for the Native Americans. They were essential for the nomadic tribes that used every part of the bison, tatanka in Lakota. Hides used for lodges, teepees. Bones and teeth used for tools. Meat for food. The bison also considered the bison to be sacred and it was a part of many of their ceremonies. It was “The gift from Wakhan Thanka”, God.
As you develop your awareness in nature, you begin to see how we influence all life. And how all life influences us. A key and critical feature for us to know.

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.
