IN WASHINGTON, DC
The summer of 2020 brought a series of spectacular storms that seemed to erupt from nowhere…
AND IT WAS NOT JUST THE WEATHER THAT WAS STORMY!

CAPTURING FURY
Inspiration struck like the lightning outside.
I quickly gathered a few art supplies and headed out to my garden terrace.
Immersed in the intensity of the torrent bursting forth from the summer color-scapes, I laid down rapid strokes of thick paint, brisk marks, and twisting lines.
The season culminated with the late summer storm of all storms in my home state of Iowa…
A Derecho.
The sustained hurricane-force windstorm dramatically altered the landscape and the lives of so many—including my own family and friends. Though at a distance, I felt the impact through photos, footage, and personal accounts.
