Amazing Canyonlands Spring 2021
Remote and awe-inspiring, exploring the Maze District of Canyonlands is a great adventure!
Dramatic drop-offs, fantastic formations, and traces of people past, were all part of this six-day backpacking trip. Initially, water was scarce, but we were treated to a magical rainstorm in the desert, followed by full waterholes and alluring pools.
The vastness of these canyonlands as experienced from the upper elevations, contrasted with the intimacy of inner narrow canyons. Surely we were experiencing four-dimensional space, or more!

Interpretive Sign Design
I enjoy helping Non-profit Organizations and Public Agencies with Interpretive Sign Design. Typically, I work closely with the groups involved to outline the contents of the sign, formulate the written message, and research and select graphics. I prepare a draft sign design for review and input, and then refine the sign content and layout to be ready for fabrication. I also prepare original graphics for the signs, for example, the watercolor map rendering for the Ponderosa Trail Sign, or the diagram of glacial movement for the Grottos Sign.
