I began this series of paintings with the modest objective of illustrating a few of the important events of the contact period on the northwest coast of America. The realization that the ships were almost all from western Europe or the east coast of the United States led to a search of their origins and histories, and has expanded into a project that starts with the Vikings and whose conclusion is not yet certain.

The images on this site are a few of those painted so far, and will be updated as more are produced.
