For years I painted rugged landscapes
inspired by places I hiked. I'd plan my
work on location. That all changed when
my friend was injured and we had to help
him hike out of the forest. After he was
safely back I wanted to know what we
missed.So I painted the place I wanted to have found.
That experience started a whole new tradition in my studio. Now my work includes both the lush, beautiful places I have visited and those I
invent - places you can only get to through the 'window' of the painting. My goal is for these completely original places to
make satisfying escapes.
