I began my journey as a fine art painter later in life, after a 40-year career as a graphic artist, illustrator and art director in print and web media. All of my current work is from the last 4 years, the majority of that as landscapes.
I do not have a complicated philosophy (yet) about my art. I find and portray beautiful places in nature or the human world that speak to me. Virtually all of my landscapes are derived from photographs I have personally taken while hiking or traveling. Capturing light in nature is the simplest statement of what I attempt in general.
Einstein was quoted as saying that “the proof of God is that the universe is unnecessarily beautiful… that only a Higher Conscious Source would make it so”. I would agree.
