My work has always returned to a realist vision of the landscape, fueled by the austere beauty of common sights. Manufactured objects lend a geometry that celebrates the hard lines of the mesas and tepee buttes of the Western Plains where I live.
       I try to focus on the way these mechanized forms mimic the horizon line, or frame natural elements in the landscape. I like to think that there’s a silent poetry in this interaction that defines an iconic American landscape.
