Artist's Statement - 2009

I view Nature as reality and humanity's state of existence as escape from reality. From this viewpoint, my artwork explores our escape impetus: Nature's polarity - its uncontrollable, turbulent environment versus its intense beauty. I then interject two concepts of a person’s solitude: harmful isolation - consequences of escapism, and beneficial isolation - forays into reality. Since 1995, South Dakota has been my inspirational source for this artwork.
