Based on the family ranch near Okaton, SD, Cristen J. Roghair creates photography that captures the northern Great Plains. "Photography has given me a medium I enjoy and the ability to express what I feel through the beauty of the prairie-this amazing and often overlooked landscape. The peaceful and yet raging expanse of wide open space has brought comfort to my soul. Not only has it become familiar, but I also know the One who created it and that brings me the most joy."
