Utility Lines

Utility lines, or telephone poles, stand silently, ignored by most people; yet the poles help elevate humans to a softer lifestyle. These poles are a recurring image in my artwork that I use to represent humankind.

Not For Sale

Moaning, mournful sounds are created when strong winds vibrate utility lines. Also, objects that are snagged by lines and fence wires are whipped into oblivion by the passing wind. 

To My Grandmothers - Across the Clouds

$1,250

This painting is dedicated to my grandmothers. The painting was inspired by an airplane window's view during a flight undertaken to attend my maternal grandmother's funeral. It looked so peaceful out there: an enormous, vast land of clouds and a blue sky that rose to an indescribable indigo blue.

June 2008: this painting has been purchased by the state of South Dakota. It will be in the Legislative conference room.
It is very difficult NOT to encounter a fence while hiking. It divides the land and domesticated animals into neat little packages.
