This view recharges my soul, I love sitting on my parent’s shoreline watching the sunsets and June didn’t disappoint. There’s no better way to reflect on a beautiful day than watching the sunset, knowing tomorrow is going to be just as amazing.
I enjoy my time spent with Mom especially after Dad passed away a few years back. It’s funny how life’s perspectives change after you lose a parent. I know that someday my time witnessing these beautiful sunsets on my parent’s shoreline will end but they will forever be locked inside my heart.
Robert Frost wrote this perfectly: Nothing Gold Can Stay.
Nature’s first green is gold, her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaf’s a flower; But only so an hour. Then the leaf subsides to leaf So Eden Sank to grief, so dawn goes down today. Nothing gold can Stay.
Below are images I was blessed to capture and deciding which ones to make into my photozaics. Your comments are welcome if you have a favorite.

artist statement
I create multi-sensory wall art that engages your curiosity of what lies beyond; what you see is personal to you. Creating art for me helps me connect with you, exhibiting my ability to make you feel like you are there with me. They inspire you to desire to touch my art, making you try to view it and feel it at the same time.
This is the start of my work in progress video for Rainy Lake Calm – photozaic sized small
Story of image:
On the first day of my trip to Rainy Lake, I was heading to a Surf and turf party with other Rainy Lakers. I was able to explore the island and see what captured my interest. I could tell that the sunset was going to be great, so I decided to sit on the floating dock and set up the equipment just waiting for the sun to set.
