“I paint landscapes throughout the Southwest, both natural and man-made, that hint of the latent history

of geologic features or residual effects of past human actions. Wherever I am, I record my

environment, be it Los Angeles or a plane sitting on the tarmac of an international airport. Many of

my paintings are of the Mojave Desert, where the pull of the open road ringed by distant mountain

ranges satisfies the nostalgia of past road trips. By wandering, exploring, and camping my way

through remote places, I find the landscapes that propel me to paint.

“My paintings begin with digital photos that are carefully

chosen from my travel documentation. I sketch first in pencil,

and then paint directly on Dura-Lar®, a smooth and versatile

polyester film that has the right tooth for painting. I work

with pure oil paint and don't add any solvents, oils or varnish.

My working process is straightforward, but involves great

concentration and artistic self-discipline, which is necessary

to execute the level of detail in the work.

“I paint impressive vistas in small scale so that the viewer is brought into intimate contact with them,

just as I am drawn into them when I paint. The goal is to pull you deep into a painting so you will

get lost in it. My small works are "hand-helds"-grand scenes in miniature form-that are easy to transport

and display, referencing the era before photography.”
