Artist's Statement

During the past several years I have been traveling in mountainous regions and places with interesting geological formations. I began exploring what made these mountainous places beautiful and mysterious to me and embarked on an ongoing series of paintings in which massive forms, expansiveness and the sense of gravity dictated how I used color and shape. I work from memory and refer only occasionally to my travel sketchbook, photographs, and smaller preparatory sketches to guide the creation of the painting, leaving room for chance and intuition to enter into the process.
