"Great Lakes are the most spectacular bodies of water in the world, and it is the single greatest source of beauty and wonder in the upper peninsula where I live. The wind from it shapes the land and vegetation, its storm produce the most incredible cloudscapes I have ever seen, and its water gives life to the soil and wildlife. The first swim in Lake Superior each year is like a baptism, like being born again. Even when I am not painting the lakes or it’s shores, it is like a guiding light, anchoring me to a deep understanding of beauty and sublime majesty."
