"My
year long preparation for this exhibit has helped me realize how deeply I have
connected with the Midwest and its
rural community. Painting the plains, prairies, and the barns of
Minnesota has helped me express more fully my
relationship with my adopted home and has clarified my vision and sense of
purpose as an artist".
