From the series - Ice Season
Lake Michigan during the stretch of winter when everything is in transition - when the lake is neither fully frozen nor fully open. Ice forms, breaks, drifts, and reforms along the shoreline, creating patterns that can disappear as quickly as they arrive.
Photographed from above, the lake starts to lose its familiar sense of scale. The ice presents more like texture and structure - fractures, clusters, and shifting fields that feel closer to maps or geological systems than to a traditional landscape. At the same time, there are moments where the shoreline reappears, or humans enter the frame - providing scale to the space.
What draws me to this period is how temporary it all is. These formations and conditions might last a few days, sometimes only hours, before changing again. The surface looks still, but it’s constantly moving - reshaped by wind, weather, and waves.

Print / Size / Frame
The listed size applies to size of printed image.
Fine art prints refer to our Giclée prints using Hahnemühle Photo Rag paper. They are offered unframed and framed.
Unframed fine art prints include 0.5" border - helps protect the artwork, reducing the risk of edge damage during handling, making framing easier by allowing space for matting, mounting, or taping without covering any part of the image.
For our larger framed pieces, we use direct printing on aluminum to achieve both exceptional quality and long-lasting durability.
For other printing details and size information, please see our printing info page.
Custom sizes, frames and glass options are available by request.
