I am an artist with a long professional history and considerable body of available work.
I use color and form to capture the energy in natural systems. I perceive the physical world as a realized Eden and paint to communicate the immense power of intact ecosystems.
My work as an ecologist takes me into remarkable sites across the American West. I seek out the last wild places. When I discover the subtle presence of the unspoiled, I find I am also surrounded by close friends. I paint the the places and life I know and love.
My paintings transpose a flat, inert wall into a window of life, a timeless threshold through which the patron can share my vision.
All paintings are oil on glass, wood panel, canvas board, or stretched canvas. All paintings will be shipped with a simple wood frame, ready to hang.
I also enjoy carving wood and welding and fabricating metal into sculpture. I am currently incorporating sculptural elements into freeform furniture. Please contact me for custom interior work and site-specific commissions.
