The Homestead Series celebrates the150th anniversary of the Homestead Act, which was signed into law by President Abraham Lincoln on May 20, 1862. All twelve images in the series, illustrate part of the epic story of this revolutionary time in history. Devastation of the native prairie, recreating the western frontier, isolation and displacement are a few of the themes explored. Each watercolor painting was created independently from the others using different art techniques, styles and approaches to portray the variety of people and experiences which comprised the Homestead Movement. Viewed as a whole, The Homestead Series connects our present experience with the lives of those who changed our land forever.

The images in Capturing America’s Heartland speak to the human experience and connect the viewer to the greater landscape of the world around them.
