"Landscape is the universal Truth to which I feel most connected. I have a palpable need to capture this reality. Through the depiction of the real, I seek to express the ineffable and allude to the Truth – a pervasive, invisible Presence. I rely on sky imagery to initiate this perception, and I depend on light to dramatize it. My landscapes reference places of significance, while the arrangements of components within my paintings imply subtle narratives."
