This series of paintings is inspired by the Great Basin, Mojave, Sonoran, and Chihuahuan deserts of the American Southwest and seek to capture the dramatic interplay of elements within these breathtaking landscapes. From water and water sculpted slot canyons, to the mirage oasis of Coachella Valley, to the brilliant dunes of White Sands National Park, to the buttes and mesas that evoke the remnants of an ancient sea, each painting serves as a testament to the geological contrasts present in this high desert country. The imagery draws on the duality of fragility and permanence, mirroring the delicate balance of life in the desert.
Through these explorations, the paintings not only depict a physical space but also convey the emotional resonance of the American Southwest, appealing to both the senses and the spirit.
