This diptych’s inspiration began with the little rusted metal piece found on a hike. I wondered about its history, what it had been, how it was abandoned along the Illinois River. It spoke to me of the oneness of things and history of a place. Many of us pay very little attention to our surroundings. I try to be more present, listen to the wind, feel the growth, health and energy of the forest and animals. Spring is a time of regeneration to be celebrated.
