This luminous series draws a deep connection to the Gold mineral found abundantly in the veins of the Rocky Mountains. These paintings lie upon a satin gold background, creating a striking contrast with the earthy tones of the imagery. The luminous foundation enhances the layers above, allowing the geological imagery to emerge with an aura of richness and depth. The integration of minerals such as Fools Gold, Pyrite, Gold Mica Flake, obsidian, and mica iron oxide lends a unique vibrancy and texture to the works. These elements serve not only as a tribute to the riches sought during the Gold Rush but also as a reminder of the geological history written in the rock surfaces and the allure of the mountain west lifestyle today.
