Artist Statement:

This beautiful blue planet on which we live, and which sustains us, is a place of astounding beauty…. Particularly exotic are the wilderness areas… remote corners of the world… the places without trees…the cabins and small buildings on rocky outcroppings.…perhaps adjacent to large wild fields….or water….alone with the elements…where weather and surf and winds can be extreme.

Equally splendid….regions north of the tree line…sources of extraordinary light and color, often at hours when the rest of the world is asleep. Curtains of light swing and dance, the aurora borealis shifting its shapes and colors at all hours, causing the tundra beneath to shimmer in reflected light….Iceland, Greenland, and the Canadian arctic are locations with magnificent - and sometimes tiny - fields of berries…or wildflowers… glorious patches of color amongst the mosses and rocks.

These are the subjects of my paintings.
