Keeping Nature in Mind
Landscapes in Sand, Stone & Paint
My landscapes are an attempt to present scenes of a unified but ever changing earth.
The push and pull of gravity, heat, and pressure have been rearranging our planet for billions of years. Nature’s energy ebbs and flows, generates and regenerates, manifests and dissipates. Soil, wind, water and life intermingle shaping our landscapes in an ongoing, ageless process.
I often use cairns and stone ruins in my landscapes to express a mindful human presence. Observers, which rest silent and still —a part of nature, yet apart from the scene—watching our ever-changing world go by.
