For me, a place exists not only visually and in terms of touch, but also in a realm that defies words and pictures.
My desire is to convey more than just a visual record of these regions where I have walked and explored. I want to relate my feeling and sense of place, the feeling of being out there on the land. Many of the paintings in this series are painted from an above ground perspective and there may be a slight feeling of vertigo that comes with the swirling loosely formed images. This northern land is big. I have just scratched the surface to expose some of its raw power.
