"Heritage Works" is a body of work that was executed as a sabbatical project, mostly during 1996-97. It is an autobiographical reflection of family, farm, and religious community. Images from the family photo album of life in North Dakota during the 40's and 50's, provide much of the content expressed through visual images, both screen-printed and painted.
