ARTIST STATEMENT
When thinking about food, particularly of fruits and vegetables, I find myself contemplating the journey from seed to plant, and then onward to fruit and seed. It is hard to look at a Seed as being alive, yet, inside of it is the potential for a new Life. And… why not, the imagination, the idea, for the new plant. It is fascinating to see the unfolding of a plant from a little seed. How it grows large and so complex in form and substance. All of the guiding principles for its character, its archetype, seem to have been stored in and now released, from the Seed. (Many plant foods that we eat are Seeds. In various states of fulfillment.) The series of watercolor paintings, depicting farms, I named Cathedrals. It is in reference to the places where our physical nourishment comes from.

ARTIST STATEMENT
In our chaotic world I have been drawn to places of peace and beauty, places far from the modern world in space and time. I am inspired by the ever-changing landscape impacted by water and light. My favorite time of day is about a half an hour before sunrise on the cusp of light and dark. The pictures in this show were taken over the past 6 years in the far north of Canada, the shores of Greenland, and the coast of Maine. One, image, marked by the lack of water is of the ancient floor of the Tethys Sea which once covered North Africa. The strange rock formations in the desert were carved out first by currents and later, once the water was gone, by sand and wind. I try to capture a moment in time in an ever-changing landscape buffeted by water, by storms, by ice Illuminated by otherworldly light
