The subject of landscape is complex and engages my interest throughout a range of aesthetic and spiritual concerns. In choosing to represent the natural world I seek to evoke a “sense of place” and the evanescent sensations of light and weather. There is active choice involved in observing, selecting, transforming, and often inventing elements of the view that I present. In depicting natural landscape scenes in partnership with abstract pictorial composition, I hope to convey an intense and poetic impression.
