Artist Statement

Take a campstool, paper, pastels and your lunch. Then go anywhere! If it's windy, stay in town. If it's cold, go south. In the winter, take along hot tea and brandy. If it's hot, go to the mountains or a river. Sometimes in July it snows!

Wherever you go, your heart goes with you. What happens is always a conversation between you and the landscape. In pastel you have 10 brushes (10 fingers), so it's great to see what they will do. At its best, you become so much a part of the landscape, you disappear. I love the adventure.
