Artist Statement
My work is fueled by a lifelong obsession with color and awe at the
monstrous complexity of the natural world. For the last several years I
have lived and painted in rural Maryland. I am in love with the weather,
the crops, the light, the dirt, the weeds. I am especially interested in
the places where people's plans for the landscape collide with the riot of
life that is there to begin with. Plants have an agenda of their own. I
like the silliness, the frailty, the vanity of the human marks. I like the
tornado of forces at work in nature. There is so much more going on than we
can say.
