All of his work is tender when it depicts friends and family, playful when it depicts lazy and cozy days by the pool, and awe-inspiring when it depicts the grandeur of the Grand Canyon. All of his work is about what it means to be here, to appreciate it, to feel it, to love it. All of his work is about what it means to be here, to appreciate it, to feel it, to love it.
