Working in the landscape, I have embraced silence and deep immersion.

Everything around us is constantly communicating with us.

In spending time in solitude in the landscape, I find an entrance into working closely in relationship and communion with something larger, something cosmic and unknown.

Through a slower process of painting, the works have become increasingly rooted in and inseparable from the place where they have evolved over several months, the Taunus mountain range in Germany. They are the traces of a meeting that takes place and deepens over time. As the body attunes itself to the landscape and the mind becomes still, there is a blending of the physical and nonphysical, the visible and the invisible, form and the formless, self and landscape.

Within the context of modern life, these paintings represent the deep need and longing for larger perspectives beyond our human-centered ways of knowing and way of life, and the striving for universal connection.
