ARTIST STATEMENT I am constantly in awe of nature, and its ever-changing scenery. Over the last few years, I have been inspired to photograph and paint the landscape elements of sky, water and land as observed during the various seasons and times of the day. The interplay of color, light, shadow, and reflective surfaces in the environment are vital elements in my images. Just as I love to portray the serenity of the natural landscape, I am also intrigued by the frenetic activity of city life. Moving cars, reflections, soaring architecture, highways, and streets with scurrying commuters have appeared in my latest works. http://www.syr.edu/http://www.smfa.edu/http://www.smfa.edu/http://www.temple.edu/tyler/http://www.parsons.edu/http://www.sunywcc.edu/extension_sites/west_art_workshop/west_art_workshop.htmhttp://www.sunywcc.edu/extension_sites/west_art_workshop/west_art_workshop.htmshapeimage_2_link_0shapeimage_2_link_1shapeimage_2_link_2shapeimage_2_link_3shapeimage_2_link_4shapeimage_2_link_5shapeimage_2_link_6
