Ohio Heritage Art Prints

An Ohio Perspective of America 250:  Celebrating the U.S. Semiquincentennial

In creating this page, I discovered that my fine art photography over the past eight years aligns beautifully with America’s 250th anniversary celebration. As the nation prepares for the United States Semiquincentennial in 2026, Ohio’s efforts through the America 250-Ohio Commission bring extra meaning to places that have witnessed the passing of time. My gallery of covered bridges, country churches, county courthouses, and iconic barns offers a profound way to reflect on America’s progress—through the lens of Ohio’s enduring architecture and rural landscapes.

As an Ohio fine art landscape photographer, I’ve embraced the state’s rich heritage. This body of work captures my journey through Ohio’s historic covered bridges, Bicentennial Barns, and old-country churches. Our state also houses presidential sites, architecturally significant county courthouses, frontier monuments—and, with its recent National Gold Medal for excellence, Ohio’s state parks add a final layer of natural heritage.
