I’ve been attracted to the same subject matter for over fifty years—the textures and environments of trees and grasses, of rocks and water and the light illuminating them. I feel my most alive, engaged with the world, and happy, when I’ve got a good artistic challenge. And I most love it when someone else sees what I’ve made and feels something of that same rush of satisfaction.
