Abstract

Artist Statement My landscapes depict the converging of sky, water, and land to symbolize transcendence, transformation, and life. I use an impressionistic style and manipulate the effects of light to capture a scene as it appears to me. Other times I re-arrange sky, land, and water into compositions that I visualize in my imagination. The convergence of natural elements can be a wide open gate where the ocean meets the sky, or it can be the narrow meandering path of a long river that meets the sky at a distant horizon. I use the physicality of terra firma, the place I inhabit physically and spiritually, as I use my art to describe the signs of transcendence and transformation.
