This show is inspired by Taos. Since moving here 9 years ago I have slowly been seeped in the expansive beauty of this place. Whether it is the endless cloud filled skies, the distant sweep of monsoon rains falling, or the majestic scale of the Rio Grande Gorge, Taos is an inspirational place for a landscape artist to live. It is completely understandable to me why so many generations of creative people have been seduced by the quality of life here. Taos has ancient traditions with a unique mix of cultures, it has the high mountains and the broad sage filled West Mesa, and it has heroic cloud filled skies, and it has the Gorge which has become my personal sanctuary.

Most of these images are original works, either oil paintings or monotype prints. I continue to love making serigraph editions and will continue, but new mediums exercise and challenge my creative voice.

These are the influences that have shaped my new work.
