Road Trip!


Driving through 9 states, visiting 4 major art museums
gave me a lot of time to think.


If you don’t know where you are going, any road will get you there.

- Lewis Carroll

Somewhere in Wyoming.

A few shots from the road.

I traveled through Illinois, Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, and Washington. Here are a few highlights from the trip.


I stopped at four major museums - The DesMoines Art Center, The Joslyn in Omaha, The Northwest Museum of Art & Culture in Spokane, and Seattle Art Museum.

I’m showing images from the James Lavadour / Land of Origin show here - there is so much to tell!

So now I’m back and settled, next week I will go into all the exhibits in more depth - these you gotta see!
