“It’s not a secret that M22 is one of my favorite places to be. For me, it is magical: It’s all about the layering of trees, the vineyards, the barns and the cattle you pass along the way. This painting combines all of my favorite things about a place that is dear to me. The colors represent an evening sky, when everything is lit in the golden glow of a setting sun and the layers of trees, silhouetted just a bit by the fading light, tend to pop out even more than usual.

“The cows are collaged in, and they are cows I actually met ‘On the Michigan Wine Trail.’ They came up from behind while I was photographing a vineyard and they were so cute; they were very curious about me and didn’t have any fear.  There are also fences crafted from sheet music, representing the melodies that play in my head whenever I’m near M22! I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed creating it.”

M22: Right where you want to be

ImageJust you and the open road as it rolls out before you, twisting and turning, leading you right to where you want to be. Glimpses of nature’s splendor — enchanting and lush vineyards, the bay and majestic Lake Michigan — spreading a smile across your face.

The M22 series was created as a tribute to the land that I love and as a reminder of all that is good. For as long as I can remember, M22 has captivated me. The land this road takes you through and the people you encounter along the way will invoke in you an everlasting sense of belonging. I invite you to join me on this journey, this love affair of sorts. And as you take it all in — the orchards, vineyards, rivers and lakes — you can’t help but be inspired. I am!
