Artist's Statement
Witness

This collection of landscapes extends from my back door, to Michigan, to Maine, and to the mountains of North Carolina. All of them are special places; lucious places teeming with life, color, and usually water. It’s entitled Witness because I have been to all of them hiking and reflecting. Hopefully my love of natural landscapes comes through. This work is devoid of figures. I wanted to capture them untroubled and undisturbed. In the past some of my landscape settings have changed due to construction or natural disasters, painting landscapes preserves these places in time.
