The SS Keewatin is a passenger liner that once sailed between Port Arthur/Fort William and Port McNicoll in Ontario, Canada. Along with the South American and the Milwaukee Clipper, the Keewatin was among the last of the turn-of-the-century style overnight passenger ships of the Great Lakes. The Keewatin was eventually moved to Douglas, Michigan in 1967 where she was a museum ship across the river from the summer retreat Saugatuck, Michigan. In August of 2011 it was announced that the vessel had been sold and in June 2012 was moved back to her home port of Port McNicoll, Ontario, CANADA, for restoration and permanent display as a maritime museum and event facility.

"Express your ability sincerely and that is art." In my work I emphasize quality, integrity and spontaneity. Since childhood I have found solace in the creation of art. It is my gift and I try not to waste it. My media of choice are oil painting, sculpture and photography. For me, the three disciplines borrow from each other making each one stronger! Having been a professional picture framer since 1990, the presentation aspect of the art world is always on my mind. It is amazing what a great frame can do. Co-owning Four Corners Framing Company in Holland, Michigan since 1999 has afforded me a front row seat to many types and styles of art. It has been a great and constant inspiration and keeps me on my art toes. You can visit...
