SENSE OF PLACE
What is it that links our external and internal environments, giving us a sense of belonging? From small scale plein air paintings to larger studio creations that incorporate symbolism and metaphor, I draw inspiration from the transcendentalist movement, surrealism, and the southwestern desert to create a landscape of enigmatic, inner human experience. Playing with the theme of merging human form and landscape I welcome the viewer to observe a deeper reality which exists in the emotional body — one that makes the widespread disconnection with the natural world apparent. With the integration of hand crafted earth pigments, the link between my internal and external worlds becomes more tangible. The landscape becomes both the subject of, and the container for, the abiding connection between humanity and the environment in which we dwell.
