The natural landscape and how it is affected by
the passing of time influence the abstract expression of my mixed
media paintings. Dry riverbeds or sloppy mud, tiny pebbles or huge
sandstone cliffs create a beauty of contrast and imperfections that
intrigue me. The first step in my process is burying the canvas
into the ground for several months. Upon excavation, the scared and
stained surface suggests a visual engagement with the earth that
prompts my artistic response.
