Artist's Statement
Psychedelic and modern meld with ancient terrain to become timeless and placeless. The landscapes of my childhood in Africa co-habitate with Chinese landscapes, Roman mosaics, Italian frescoes, cave art, and science fiction. These strange places are localities that could be primordial; may be post-apocalyptic, and are as familiar as alien. Ideas of both destruction and resurrection play through a lens of vibrant color. I speak to the power of landscape to hold suggestive meaning beyond mapping or describing, into exaltation.
I welcome studio visits. Feel free to contact me on email.
