Biography

For any landscape, my goal is to make something pretty but unsentimental. To my mind, that combination tends to consist of pairing opposites. I try to balance elements to a point at which they cancel each other out, and suspend the viewer in a state of potential for a moment before he interprets things one way or the other. For the viewer, I hope my work is like the cave in The Empire Strikes Back, "What's in there?" "Only what you take with you."
