Landscapes of the American West

Contemporary Paintings

The paintings in this series created in my studios in Detroit, New Mexico, and Colorado express a fundamental spiritual dimension of mountains. They are not meant to be site-specific or photographic. It is my hope that they will elicit a deep sense of the beauty and spiritual nature of the mountains that have inspired me to paint them.

There is a unique spiritual identity or presence of place in each of the many pueblos, reservations, monuments, towns, and villages I’ve visited. The contrast between these sacred sites and the Detroit communities where I have lived and worked for decades has given me a great appreciation for the land and people who occupy both.
