"Ox Trail in Moon Light", 2000

Artist Statement: "My paintings are intended to be reminders of the stillness. The Earth often is still, and when I am outside painting plain air the stillness connection lets me feel at one with everything. The joy and peace of those moments is what I hope to bring back to the viewer. That still place within is often referred to as the 'Zone' where most creative people are when they are painting, sculpting, writing, or playing music. I try to quiet my mind and listen to the stillness of the land. There are no houses, cars, people or animals in my paintings as they would be a distraction that disrupts the stillness. Although I have often painted on the sides of busy highways, the highway is not in the painting. Bells of consciousness are reminders that bring us back to looking at the world through the eyes of the soul. The Bells can be anything and everything. I pray that my paintings are Bells for someone."
