Recent Work
The Surface series, started in 2007, are acrylic on canvas, taking off on the theme of the surface of water. Decidedly abstract and evocative, they are expressions of emotion. Since 2002 I've journeyed to Death Valley every March and October for photographic inspiration, focusing on the themes of surfaces and abstraction in nature. My latest work re-creates the dried, cracked surfaces of the desert playa, in relief on canvas.
