My drawings represent a time period of living in a riparian habitat from 1983-2023 - 40 years in Stehekin.  We come and go now as we did in the beginning when we were building our home.  I live between Battalion creek and the Stehekin River. 

The Battalion Creek Beaver pond behind our home is close enough to hear a slap of a tail or a tree falling. The pond has captured my attention for many years. The bank beavers come and go, build/rebuild the dam, modifying the flow and the forest nearby. Sometimes flooding alters their constructions.  The creek rises and falls.  Drowned cedar skeletons catch the light in a dark forest.

Changes with time of day, light, shadow, weather, seasons and the work of the beavers, inspires  meditation, exploration and little drawings to share at this time.
