Artist's statement:
Much of my work focuses on light and shadow and how natural forms reveal themselves to my eyes. I think a similar process occurs when art reveals itself to its viewer and I feel I've been successful when my art mimics nature's revelations-the subtle plays between form, light, and shadow. Sometimes my approach is to reduce the features of a particular landscape to its bare essentials, and then to multiply those essentials. In doing so, I sometimes render a new point of view or even an entirely different landscape. These prints I made at Tamarind were my first lithographs-a challenging medium. In them I've depicted two variations of a single strand of trees and given each a different mood. One has a wintry, cool, and blue feel; and the other, a warm, tropical atmosphere. I like the fact that the same trees exist in two totally different atmospheres and may, possibly, elicit radically different emotional responses.
