If you are unable to make it to the presentation in Elmira, I will be presenting again at the Finger Lake Finns Fall Festival on September 19th from 2:30 at the Newfield Fire Hall. I hope to also have some prints available there as well.

Some great news on the book! I am about three-fourths of the way done. There are so many excellent images and ideas that my original plan of making it 35-40 pages has extended to around 50. Also, originally I wanted to print 100 copies of the book, but I am now extending it to 125 to cover the additional costs and the larger number of requests. This means everyone gets a bigger book! If you pre-ordered a book or art, you can expect it around mid-september.
To wet your taste buds, here are some images of the art work I completed while in Finland, maybe you are one of the lucky ones who will be getting one.
This work below was a created from a nostalgic Finnish item (a grandmother's chest) and a preserved boat figurehead from Rauma

This work was inspired by two immigrants stories: one from India and one from the United States.

As you might guess, ice skating is a popular past time in Finland. This image caught the eye of the Rauma Art Museum and postcards of it may become available at their store.

Finland was the first place I got to see a swan in flight. One day while enjoying time on the Sanharanta bay Mackenzie and I heard a boat off in the distance not starting. A few minutes later a huge swan flew by and we realized the sound was not a boat, but the bird!
