For the past thirty six years my paintings have been concerned with describing the phenomenon of light in nature from a holistic perspective. I have traveled extensively throughout the USA noting this phenomena and its geological spirit in our ecosystem. I utilize audio taped music of cultures all over this planet to assist me in feeling and understanding the earth's rhythms, order and color energy.

Watercolors, drawings and poetry are made on site to make note and cross reference feelings in a micro/macrocosm view of place. These feelings are then woven into patterns within an architectonic order of the geomancy of the place.

In the last twenty years I have traveled through the 'canyon circle' area of the Four Corners (Arizona, Utah, New Mexico and Colorado) noting the color alchemy and geomantic order of place. I have been trying to instill into my vision of nature a spatial quality that best describes her colorful spirit and sacred character.

I have also made similar notations in Australia comparing U.S. earth energy rhythm quests with watercolors and drawings made while camping at sacred sites in Kakadu National Park area of the Arnheim land in the Northern Territory.

Utilizing myth, music, alchemy and color symbolism, my paintings attempt to tell a tale about the ecological-tech balance of man in nature. These tales are also picture poems that reflect my deep love for the earth and her ever-changing, dancing spirit.
