Far from the crowds and away from the noise is Wilderness Lake.

This is a place of pristine beauty, quiet majesty, and tranquil silence, located high in the Wallowa Mountains of Oregon, USA. It is reached by a nine mile hike from the trailhead, so anybody who makes it to this isolated spot has worked a bit to get there.

But that’s how it often is, isn’t it? The goals worth reaching, the places worth being – these are not ready at hand, like shopping outlets, easily reached on wide, straight roads that many, many people are driving upon.

I am a fine art painter who creates representational images celebrating light, life, and color. A commercial illustrator for more than 20 years, I have been painting for most of my life, and in the last 18 years have focused exclusively on fine art.
