Artist's Statement
I combine my passion for various art mediums and love of intense physical activity to tease out the soul and energy of Mother Nature’s shapes and objects.
Painting while trail running in the wide and expansive canvas of northern New Mexico, where nature is the ‘church’ and the natural landscape the choir, provides me an unparalleled nirvana-like state, where pragmatic thinking and intuitiveness flow effortlessly. The euphoria follows me back to the studio and manifests into oil-on-panel impressionistic and abstract paintings. The essence of these pilgrim-like journeys has also found its way into wood carvings as well as sculptures created from food refuse and other natural materials.
The confluence of mind, body and spirit is powerful and with countless vistas to view and trails to run, my hope is to inspire peace, beauty, and respect for the environment by way of the creative process.
