About The Artwork

A visit to Native American ruins inspired this painting. Its majesty demanded to be painted out of respect for these early resourceful people.The aesthetic solid architecture impressed me. I compose on site, and take a photo for reference and later embellish in the studio in oils. I chose a dramatic composition, in bright light to stress the strength of this civilization in the face of isolation and harsh survival.I chose a palette in gold to reflect the majesty in spite of decay. I want the viewer to feel as I did--an overwhelming sense of awe and for this ancestral tribe. I paint realistically and was classically trained, but I push color and composition in a strong contemporary manner.

I was born in Quebec, Canada and have been drawing since childhood. I attended the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania while working full time, and received several awards and prizes there. I moved to Colorado twenty-five years ago to be closer to the woods, mountains, and rivers. My plein air works tend to be rendered in pastel; my studio work, in oils. My subject matter references include sketching in the field, taking notes on color, and photographing what I see. I find that my shortcomings as a photographer are a benefit to me as a painter as they leave more room for embellishment and imagination.
