Travels

This body of work continues an ongoing exploration of humanity’s passage through time. I remain interested in both the individual and collective histories of people as they encounter elements of the external landscape as well as their more hidden interior worlds. Using both literal and abstract imagery as iconic references to shared ideas, these new paintings give visual form to the invisible process that drives people’s search for meaning in life.
