Artist Statement:

"The work is based on a trip I took to this canyon in Northeast Baja recently, where springs pool in an otherwise dry landscape covered in sun-bleached boulders. This mountain range continues northeast of San Diego, marking the separation between pine-forested area surrounding Julian and the Anza Borrego Desert. I'm interested re-interpreting traditions of landscape painting with source material from places where I've lived and surrounding areas-urban and rural-and illuminating my sensation and research of these places through altered color, surface and perspective. The materials of this work continue in a vein of experimental layering with acrylic paint, using sheets of paint as a collage material.”
