Since I moved to the Columbia Gorge region 9 years ago, I have learned a lot about the changes that have been inflicted upon the landscape to serve humans. I have witnessed some of these changes for myself and began to wonder how to address this in my art. As we demand more of our planet, more than we need, we are pursuing a course that will be ever more difficult to change. The more I learn, the more I want to do and say something about it.
