In my paintings and photos I have tried to capture the essence and feelings of forms from nature. My inspiration comes from the beauty that is found in the natural environment. I describe my paintings as “expressionistic or atmospheric environmental landscapes”. Modeled space is used to give an image the atmospheric quality that can appear to transcend a particular scene. My aim is to create a mood or feeling associated with a given scene. Photography is a way for me to capture a particular moment in time. The subject matter may vary, but I am drawn in particular to images in nature. In particular, scenes from the California desert and the Sierra Nevada, so for me this show is perfect for what I do. My motivation to create art stems from a need to document and record the inherent beauty of the earth, which is in danger because of climate change and global warming.
