- Biographical Information
- The western landscapes which I have journeyed through have been a continual source of imagery for my work. The rock and mountain forms I work with are the "actors" in the mythology of my work. The atmosphere surrounding these forms, the cloud forms, the shape of the weather, help to create a sense of expectancy, of waiting for some drama to unfold. The outer border or "framework" of metal leaf helps to separate the inside image from the outside world, much in the same way medieval artists used gold leaf. The use of the metal leaf harkens back to the art of the icon, the leaf being for those artists as "light materialized". (Caprario, 1995)
