Artist Statement
I didn’t consciously become a landscape painter. But over time
I’ve come to appreciate that random elements encountered in
modern life have an intrinsic elegance. For example, rubble piled
by the side of the highway, designs created by tumbled, quarried
blocks of stone, or the beauty of a giant boulder, isolated by time
and space.
Ultimately, my paintings navigate the elusive snaking line
between abstraction and figuration. It is the link connecting each
painting to another.
