In addition to being a painter, I am a long time backpacker and rock climber with a passion for the Sierra. Walking and climbing through the endless forms of nature, interrogating the figure/ground conundrum and pausing for the inevitable moments of pareidolia; all are nourishment for my spirit and imagination. Close and mindful observation allows me to break out of the prison of scale, where the borders between the prosaic and poetic, surface and substance, the material and the spirit become permeable.
(On a side note: the de Young's landscape room was hugely influential and important to me as a child.)
