"Searching the mysterious side of landscape painting"
I paint landscape imagery as a portal into something else.
Rocks, leaves, and bush are structures that serve as coverings.
They disguise and house something that is both living and eternal.
My search is to capture the unseen, to uncover a mystery -- a struggle,
a place where unseen forces are at work.
Nature's woods and forests provide the visual stimulation. They also provide
the setting or place of encounter.
Most of us are confronted with notions of something more than ourselves,
other forms of reality at work, spiritual or non-material bodies traveling through
space - entering in & out of this world. My work explores these ideas.
