This 2018 U.S. premiere production interweaves two stories of a young woman who curses her city from beyond the grave, and of a wealthy businesswoman who must face the parched, locust-plagued city. This modern ghost story beautifully reimagines a classic myth and explores the legacy of trauma, the heart of injustice, and the lengths to which we go for love.

Shoshone Falls, Plein Air Painting of Shoshone Falls by Stefan Baumann.
Shoshone Falls is a waterfall on the Snake River in southern Idaho, United States, approximately 3 miles northeast of the city of Twin Falls. Sometimes called the “Niagara of the West,” Shoshone Falls is 212 feet high—45 feet higher than Niagara Falls—and flows over a rim nearly 1,000 feet wide. Wikipedia
This painting of Bridal Veil Falls was created en plein air on location in Yosemite Valley in summer at Bridal Veil Vista Point. Yosemite is a grand location for outdoor painters to go and be with nature.
Painting wildlife from life can be difficult. Therefore many of my wildlife paintings are created from sketches and photos taken from my journeys into America’s National Parks. This piece portrays a 12-point elk from the business end of the animal.
