August 31-October 15, 2017, Rerum Novarum; Monte Pearson Gallery, Pearson Lakes Art Center, Lake Okoboji, Iowa

As an adopted child, my inner life was full of fantasy and musing about my origins.  I loved the movie Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory , especially the scene where Charlie blasts through a glass skylight in flight over terracotta rooftops of a German village.  The scene stirred my imagination, interest in my own German heritage, and my desire to someday see those very red rooftops myself.  In the subsequent 40 years I never made it to Europe, until now.  I can't
