The landscape of the North American Southwest has always entranced me, filled me with awe, and a sense of my place in an unknowable Universe. There is a spiritual quality in the land and light that touched me. Over the course of three years, I made several hundred mixed media works on paper that focused on the landscape. All of the work in Southwest Icons are untitled. There are hundreds of mixed media works on rag paper, measuring in size from 22” x 30” to 38” x 50.” In addition to the works on paper, I made a number of mono-prints, more than a dozen oil paintings on both canvas and wood, along with a number of painted ceramics, collaborating with my good friend ceramicist Chris Spanovich.
