While I employ languages of abstraction, minimalism, and process-based and conceptual art, my paintings are deeply rooted in observation. My art can be described as environmental, ecological, or as non-traditional landscape painting; yet, my interests lie not with the picturesque, but with light, atmosphere, texture, the fractal geometry of nature, and deep time. To this end, erosion and sedimentation, growth and decay—geological and biological processes that help shape what we call the landscape—greatly inform my work. I find these natural processes—of increase and decrease, of concentration and dissipation, of transformation by repeated addition and subtraction—analogous to the act of painting itself and a metaphor for incomprehensibly vast time scales and ecologies.
