It’s that time of year again, where I reflect on the past year as we move into the new year. 2021 was a great year for my photography! From a trip to California in the spring, followed by Colorado wildflowers in June, another Colorado trip for a great season of fall colors in early October and some great shooting here in my home state of Kansas, I feel like I had a nice variety of ocean photography scenes, mountain photography scenes and images from the prairies and plains as well. In addition, I did four shows\/festivals to showcase my limited edition fine art prints. Having started with the Oklahoma City homeshow in March of 2021, I did my first outdoor art festival at the Breckenridge July Art Festival<\/a> in Colorado in early July, followed by one of the biggest shows in the country at the Park City Kimball Arts Festival<\/a>, finishing up in my hometown of Wichita at Autumn & Art in September. So 2021 was a wonderful year for my photography, both from a creative standpoint and a business one as well!<\/p>\n

You can read more about the Breckenridge July Art Festival<\/a> and the Park City Kimball Arts Festival<\/a> experiences here on the blog.<\/p>\n
