About Field Notes
Field Notes began as a practice in mindful attention—capturing fleeting moments and letting meaning emerge. I hope these essays meet you where you are, offering fresh perspective, connection, or an invitation to pause and notice what’s already here. In a world that rushes past the sacred, this is my effort to carve out space for reflection, questions that linger, and the kind of noticing that deepens life.
If it resonates, I’m glad you’re here.

Book—The Meadowlark
Overview
In 1885, southeastern Idaho was the last part of the country to open for homesteading. Young Cassie Rapp arrives with her family to farm a country overrun by sagebrush and lacking water. With others they meet, they harness the mighty Snake River and turn 100,000 acres of barren earth into the rich farm community it is today.
Meanwhile, modern-day character Emma Rose, a notable speaker and business consultant, is trying to make sense of her recently deceased father’s request to be buried in a small Idaho town. Her journey of discovery begins from there.

Fine Art
No one is born an artist, or at least that’s what I tell myself. I actually know a few natural-born artists who, of course, have honed their craft and created masterpieces. My self-taught, hack approach has produced nothing but delight (for me!) as I have learned to capture what I see rather than what I know—that pine trees aren’t always green and light does curious things to the eves of a building and elements off in the distance.
