original collection utilizes a unique mixed media combination
of natural elements including recycled wild animal hides, bone,
antlers and shells to present powerful spiritual images of mankind.

Wisconsin. This powerfully exploratory series in the life, death
and spiritual cycle of mankind evolved after the artist was
given an Ojibwe name and guardian spirit by the late Lac Courte
Oreilles spiritual leader James 'Pipe" Mustache. |
