Journeys
from Home Main
"The power,
beauty, and dignity of Nature have a mysterious and spiritual attraction
for me. This collection of drawings and paintings is my artistic
response to that calling. The paintings are generated references
to trees and landscapes seen or remembered from walks taken in the
gray autumn and winters of Virginia and Vermont. Layers of drawing,
paint and collage fuse to complete the images, which have become
increasingly richer in surface quality. My intent was for each painting
to evoke a different sense of mystery and wonder. These works are
imaginary landscapes that are intended to represent places of refuge
and harmony where the viewer can rest and contemplate before continuing
or perhaps beginning another journey."
