Overview

Illustrated with 200 barn sketches, diagrams, and maps, this book takes you on a journey through the St Croix River Valley. It grounds you in the geography, geology and biology of the region and introduces you to its original inhabitants, the Dakota and Ojibwe peoples, European explorers, fur traders and loggers and the settlers that followed them. It is a celebration of regional diversity and architectural expression through a single type of building—the barn.

His work has been published in online and professional journals and his drawings have been exhibited at fine art venues. Jim lives on a hundred-year-old farmstead with a huge red barn in the St Croix River Valley.
