Although I work with figures in my paintings and drawings, over my career as a painter, it is the landscape,
as a forum for representing space and light within the graphic language, that has been my primary interest.
I am interested in landscape for metaphoric and formal reasons more than for purely descriptive ones – that is, I like the poetry of big space with big forms in big light; it’s the mood and atmosphere and emptiness that draws me.
The facts of WHERE some scene is, I find of lesser importance and interest.
