Statement

My art begins with travel.  I'm interested in that empty space outside my authomobile or airplane window.  I look out there at the sand, sage, mountains, hills and such, and I wonder how to express the connection to the human spirit that I see out there.

I paint places without much in the way of human intervention.  Sometimes I just paint sage, creosote, pine or juniper.  Sometimes I paint scraps of small towns or roads winding through small communitites.  For me, it's all about isolation, solitude, and finding clarity.
