There are places that are woven into the fabric of your being. Locations that do more than just hold a memory. They shape your identity, your values, and how you experience the world. Stone Lake in La Porte, Indiana, is that place for me.

This linocut is inspired by the lake that was my home for as long as I can remember. My bedroom faced the water, and the lake was part of the rhythm of my everyday life. The changing light, the Sycamore and Maples lining the shoreline, and especially the waterfowl were familiar sights.

My parents are both gone now, and with them, so much of the life we knew at Stone Lake. In their memory, we placed a memorial bench along the lake.

Carved and printed by hand, this linocut is a small tribute to Stone Lake and the familiar landscape that shaped so much of my life.
