About the Work
I respond to landscape as a metaphor for emotions and experiences. I seek to integrate the memories and sounds of being in the landscape into the making of the print, to integrate the process with form and content.  It is a way for me to relive an experience and to share it with others.

I am always looking for water. The sources of my prints are from springs in the Grand Canyon encountered after long, hot hikes, fall river walks, the end of a trail in the mountains that opens up into a pond reflecting the colors of a sunrise, small plants flowering in arid Death Valley and many other details discovered from both far away and from near my home.

To me, these images become rich in meaning as they suggest resilience, renewal, beauty and new life in a time of constant change.
