Artist Statement:
I began my career as a fine
art photographer focused on
the decisive moment and
pursuing the magic of light. I
looked for images that
indicated a sense of universal
wonderment and unity.
In my late 20’s, I worked
exclusively for conservation
groups photographing
threatened habitats and
endangered species around the
world. I photographed so many
different mammals in water
habitats that water itself
became a primary focus for my
artistic endeavors.
In the process of abstracting
the qualities of water, as it
transformed into its various
aspects of light, color,
movement, and energy, I began
to experience a relationship
with painting. By 1983,
painting had become my primary
means of artistic expression
and landscape painting became
the primary focus of my work.
My paintings are an expression
of inspirations from nature
and my relationship to the
landscape. I strive to create
harmony among the three forms
of light available to an
artist: surface light, the
light of nature, and the light
of spirit. My art is about
presence and place.
I work in the landscape of
Indiana, my home. Our roads,
pastures, fields, and forests
are the essence of our
landscape, the American
mid-west. The Indiana
countryside ...
