Biography from a third party submitted on 02/28/2009:
| Artist Statement:
From the violent storms that appear across the Plains, to the
contemplative vistas of the Appalachia area, my paintings are sublime
observations, filled with light, color and atmosphere. The
landscape is both dramatized in panoramic vistas and minimized in
simple paintings of the ocean, each with equally effective measures.
The work is created in great detail on a small scale to encourage
a more intimate interaction between art and the viewer. All human
presence has been eliminated, creating an idealized world where nature
again rules.
