Statement

When I was a first-generation 11th grader at the innovative Armstrong High School in Minnetonka, Minnesota, I had the exciting experience repainting an American landscape painting with oil paints for an English class called "Americanisms." I loved the rich clouds and the contrast between the light sky and the dark golden trees in the original painting and in mine. And I felt excited at how well I had painted. I handed the painting in to my English teacher, and he kept it! Under his bed, he said. From 2001 to 2005 I've had a web cam in my window. I can take snap shots from the web cam, and I do for beautiful sun sets, in raging storms, on hot sunny days, and at night for fire works or holiday lights. "Pictures from One Window" is a collection of web cam images from my window that I've e-mailed to my friends. In the collection you can see Rustic Oaks Park and Glacier Gulch, behind my home, and my square fish pond on my patio. I based my square fish pond design on an ancient fish pond that I saw at a temple in Japan. Beside the crater lake and winding green streams filled with brightly colored koi, I found a gray square-shaped stone pond that contained toad statues.
