I remember fishing with my father, walking down dirt paths to the rivers edge, watching the sunrise as Caddis flies danced in the morning light. Ever since then I have been drawn to the river. 

  Several years ago we moved to Colorado from Connecticut where I had a very successful picture framing and gallery business. It was here in Colorado amongst the endless rivers, that I came up with an idea.

  I wanted to find a way to combine my

  love of fishing with my creative talents

  as a picture framer. I solicited the help

  of my friend James Carter, a renowned

  New England artist to create the trout

  images.  I have re-created the river maps

  in a classical pen and ink style on antique

  parchment paper, and have incorporated

  shadow-boxed flies to complete the

  presentation. Each piece is handsomely

  framed in a rich walnut stained frame,

  and matted in a color that compliments

  the piece. 

  I hope you enjoy the pieces, hopefully purchase one or two, and can make it to some of

  these rivers.

        Good fishing to all.
