FREYA GRAND Shrouded Peak, 2003
Main Washington D.C. Oil on canvas. The painted surface extends around the edges.

In landscape painting, as in abstraction, forms transmit a mysterious secret life, conduct an electricity. 

For me that electricity resides in the natural world: mountains obscured by fog, the roll and swell of hills, the conversation between blunt stumps or leaning peaks, the tangle of vegetation.

My own interior landscape is mimicked by these forms. They illuminate the conversations of breathing, of dreaming, of longing, of awe. 


Our sense of a place is altered by memory and emotion: the dizzy sway of a dream suddenly remembered, the deep pull of a beloved landscape, the intrusion of something from another reality. 

Things are always much more than they seem. There are forces operating behind the surface of what we take for reality, and there are moments when we catch a glimpse of them.
