I am incredibly blessed to live in one of the most beautiful places in the world….The United Nations Biosphere Reserve at Cascade Head on the central Oregon Coast. (Please insert map from cascadehead.org)   This is "life on the wild edge of a continent” where 3500 miles of the North American land mass meets 5000 miles of open ocean… The land, sea and air of this place acts as a muse, sanctuaryand teacher for me. My work is to channel the beauty and power of this place, and to show what is possible when we care for the last great places.

I am nearly 70 years old, have been living with my incredible wife Melany for 50 years, with two grown children nearby. I have started 5 businesses in my 40 year professional career in the diverse and seemingly un-related fields of gold-smithing, porcelain enamel, apparel, eco-system services and sustainable seafood.The common thread running through them all is that they were all design driven, and I had the pleasure of being the creative director for all of them…

I REALLY love working alone now, no creative briefs, committees or consensus building, just “tracing gods line” as my father used to say. I hope my curation of images from this place moves you, and that some of them might come to live with you in your place of work or home sanctuary and in doing so connect you to a deeper relationship to the living planet.
