This painting was created en plein air in the desert north of Palms Springs. The Pacific Plate and the North American plate meet here creating the San Andreas fault. The pressure of the plates pushes the ground water up providing enough water for an oasis and springs in the canyon. I became a desert rat, happily hiking out to paint every day. The added frisson of painting alone in a hostile environment with desert heat, mountain goats and lions, rattle snakes and bears has made me a firm convert to desert painting and the artists who paint there.

Desert landscapes are often environments of pure abstraction, where clarity, emptiness, and silence can simultaneously be a physical and psychological experience. Painting in the desert has helped me to understand that abstraction and representation pervade my art in a permanent interplay, one always harbors characteristics of the other. In that place where the world drops away, I continue to discover innate beauty in the exquisite patterns left by the flow of nature. The Earth is my endless source. Random, arbitrary detail may make some of the abstracts appear as contradictory, unintentional compositions or they may be intentional representation of a reference I recall. As I maintain a relationship with the source material, often the colors suggest a landscape or a hint of horizon. Abstract paintings are made in layers using chance and arbitrariness. Through the construction and deconstruction of paint I create deliberate pictorial structures. Art is my personal alchemy; I use it for healing both body and mind. Art becomes a ritual, a type of consciousness that allows me to enter the cosmic space. The physicality of working on large canvases or supports allows one to interact with creation on a molecular level.
