From a recent press release:
foremost endangered river--the Colorado--throughout
2016 and 2017. This group of photographs is part of his
series depicting rivers of the Great American Migration,
as told through his masterful amalgamation of hand-
painted black and white photographs. After surviving a
near-fatal accident in the Colorado Rockies in the wake
of 9/11, the Vietnam Era veteran and career artist of
Christian faith found that his recovery from this event
only strengthened his belief that the "power" of art can
"still" make a difference to young and old alike in
nurturing "A Good Earth." A conscious belief that Lew
walks with through his love, as an artist, is inspired
by God's wonders of nature. Just as in the time of the
early colony of artists who ushered in America's first
major art movement--the Hudson River School--the
scenic Hudson River Valley and Kaaterskill Clove
area of New York that continues to inspire artists."
You can help Lew establish this gallery, so that his message of the importance of clean rivers can carry on for generations to come, by purchasing prints of some of his work. These would make excellent gifts for not only anglers who would enjoy a gorgeous view of a favorite fishing river, but anyone who wants to see nature's beauty everyday.

I can honestly say that Lew is one of the most dedicated people I've met in the mission to keep America's rivers & waterways clean & pure. As a fly angler, dependent on clean, cold water for my passion, I can't thank him enough for all his efforts. Please help Lew carry his message on to the generations that will follow us. As Lew says, "rivers have a message". That message is one worth listening to.
