Thank you for taking the time to visit Artisan Earthworks.
We truly are a family business. My father and I look through literally hundreds of our photographs to find those “special” images that we can share with others. My wife, mother, mother-in-law, sister and sister-in-law create names that best reflect each image and then my wife, son and I provide the office support and customer service necessary for our business to thrive.
All of our cards, except for three images provided by a friend, feature original photographs taken by my father and me, while on different photographic adventures. While on these outings we have had the opportunity to uniquely photograph scenes that capture the beauty and detail of the world we live in. Whether it’s a colorful rose found in my front yard in the Pacific Northwest or the majestic Austrian Alps halfway around the world, the inspiration and motivation to take memorable photographs and turn them into one of a kind cards is there - providing you with a high quality card that is unique and one you will remember - from my family to your family and friends.
Years ago my wife framed a card I gave her; it was a beautiful card with a handwritten note she treasured. She wanted to remember the thoughts on the inside, so she framed the card and displayed it in our home. This inspired me to create cards that would give others the opportunity to do the same...share their heart and give a personal gift to be treasured through the years.
In today’s computer-driven society, communication is becoming more impersonal all the time. Text messages and e-mail are the convenient rule of the day. Still, nothing seems to mean more than knowing someone took the time to sit down and share their heart in a personal, handwritten message. All of our cards are left blank on the inside, so you can personalize them with your own thoughts and they are specifically designed to fit in any standard or matted frame.
I hope that you will consider sharing your heart with others...our cards will help you do it!

Photography has been a passion of mine for many years. From the beginning, my desire has been to capture images that convey the magnificent and matchless beauty of God’s creation.
I discovered the ‘magic’ of photography at an early age and owned a Polaroid Land® camera by the time I reached the fifth grade. I acquired my first 35mm SLR camera and zoom telephoto lens in the early 1970’s and became a little more serious in my pursuit of that special image.
Just as I found myself drawn to the gratification of viewing images instantly, embodied by my first Polaroid®, I have eagerly embraced digital imaging because of that same instant gratification. Also, being able to employ my computer as my digital darkroom, has enabled me to edit finished images and has opened a whole new dimension of creativity for me.
My wife and I took our first vacation trip to Europe in the mid-1980s and have been blessed to return many times in the years since. Many of the images in my portfolio were captured during these European excursions as well as frequent travels throughout the US.
I hope that you will enjoy viewing the images as much as I have enjoyed capturing them.
