Inspired by a road trip to the western United States, boldly colored geometric and gestural forms conjure an iconic geographic story of canyons, buttes, mountains, and mesas.  Reflecting sensation of place and time, they are not representational landscapes. Here earth and jewel tones are powerful, grounding, and healing. Hard edges melt into soft spaces where spirit and mind are free to roam. 

Back home in my Wisconsin studio, I felt like this series painted itself. A good road trip has that kind of power. For months shapes and colors I'd experienced out west flew from my mind through my fingers to the canvas. I couldn't stop seeing them and I couldn't stop painting them.   

I hope this euphoria of shape, line, and color guides your creative spirit toward a deeper sense of what it means to be alive in this astonishing world right now.
