The buffalo skull image is taken from an actual buffalo skull I have in my studio. It was gifted to me by my father, who found it many years ago on the prairies. The skull was very old even then. This skull inspires me so much.

My family immigrated to the prairies as homesteaders, my roots are in that land. However, I feel connected much further back than that, back to when the buffalo roamed huge swathes of the landscape, wild and free.
