"My interest is in providing a means for viewers to ponder what comprises their own experience of landscape. I paint grand views with sweeping horizons and dramatic skies. The vistas and skies in each painting are fictional, made up from imagination and making use of the cultural vocabulary of traditional Western landscape painting.

I do want the paintings to provide an interface between how a painting is experienced and how nature is experienced.

I feel that it is still possible, and probably more important than ever during our current preoccupation with climate change and global warming, for an individual, standing alone before a landscape to have a conscious awareness of being overwhelmed--whether you want to call this state transcendence, or joy, or fear, or vulnerability in an unpredictable universe.

I want a viewer to feel participation and inextricable belonging in the larger matrix of sky, distance, and land that I paint."
