“My current paintings are a continuing summation of the natural world. My paintings reflect what and how I see things in nature directly, not a contrived artificial sensibility manipulated by others through artificial intelligence.
As rural, urban, and suburban environments are always in a continuous state of change, my recent work of mountainous landscapes conveys a peaceful, rather than conflicting, unity of nature and its growth over long periods of time and growth, controlled and maintained with my own hands in an organized placement.
The color choices are mixed rough, coarse to smooth, brightly filled sunshine, and at the passage of time, mist. The hues, brave and brash at moments, scream off the canvas as an alert of the environment's surroundings, elements, and encounters.
Some paintings of the landscapes convey a reflection of rapid growth, while others translate a slower growth rate; as nature relays what it is exposed to: human inhabitation, wildlife, etc. Seen through minimal to complex ways of specific visual language that is not commonplace but is intended.
My approach to painting isn’t entirely formalistic, rather it becomes and is from a sense of place within myself and extends beyond myself. I do not work from photographs, my paintings have nothing to do with the techniques of photography! I work and paint directly from life and death, the dichotomy of a sustainable world.
Through my own visual language and my own visual voice, I create cohesive oil paintings revealing a sensibility and an order through a sensitivity in often a cold world. A cold world that turns red hot to a warm, consistent tone and its gusts of wind, defying gravity, become stable and permanent.”
