AS I PAINT …….
However colorful my work is , the arching ideas behind most of it are pretty dark as I have a dystopian view of the future , but it does not stop me from having fun in creating personal landscapes .
On the Raft is a good example of the way I am painting , winds and fogs almost always lead me to an unexpected destination .
Being an avid hiker and having visited many places in the Southwest and the world , I am attracted to desolate and harsh environments . From Bisti Badlands ( NM ) to Escalante wilderness areas in Utah , Death Valley , Africa , Sahara … I paint like I hike , in solitude , not too many markers on the trail . Getting lost and finding myself .
