A look back through time
“. I grew up around the Erie Canal. I could spend all day reading and learning about the history of these communities who built our trade industry. I loved creating all the different people and think about the experiences of the people that pioneered these beautiful waterways. I wanted to show about the work people did in those days. This is such a rich historical area and people miss the incredible stories. That’s what I wanted to portray with my artwork.”
