Thoughts On My Art: Guitar Art, Contemporary Abstract Art And Contemporary Swedish Folk Art
CHARLES CITY, Iowa - I will admit, I can be a bit sporadic in my focus when it comes to painting. I started out trying to be Max Beckmann, using oil paint and thick lines, then ventured into all sorts of areas and styles trying to find myself in the mix.

The guitar art series allowed me to be a full time artist, dropping out of graduate school at the Univer
Iowa Wedding Photography: Diamond Oak Events with Brandon and Heather

My Favorite Documentary Wedding Images: Iowa and Minnesota Wedding Photography
Charles City, Iowa - When I made some changes to my website and moved everything over to one site, I lost a bunch of blogs. So, I wanted to write one up and combine some of my favorite images from weddings over the last few years. Sort of like my "best of" wedding photography.
