Like the land­scape that I pho­to­graph,  my art­work is made of many sub­tle lay­ers. The ground is brown steel cov­ered with mul­ti­ple lay­ers of gold acrylic paint. The metal and paint com­bine to cre­ate a lumi­nes­cent, multi-textured back­ground for one of my orig­i­nal pho­tographs. The semi­trans­par­ent pig­ments of the pho­to­graph allow the gold to shine through, trans­form­ing the land into a story.

I am inspired by the deaf­en­ing con­crete of my urban home, and the invis­i­bil­ity cre­ated by the cul-de-sacs of my youth. The pos­si­bil­i­ties offered in the big sky, the open land, the space between.  The untold sto­ries sit­ting on the hori­zon. The miles I travel, dream­ing and being still.

Enjoy the journey!
