ARTISTS STATEMENT
My latest works are based on seeing the earth from above-from a plane or satellite. The experience of my first transcontinental flight was a stunning visual experience that demonstrated in a graphic way the enormity and variety of the land mass our country is situated upon; it was at that moment my painting became inexorably tied to flying. I’m fascinated by visual sensations resulting from the interplay between man-made elements and the natural land surface, and how people carve out a living in the geography in which they exist
