in the course of our everyday lives, whether planned or by accident, we all hope to find special times and places that help us to slow our pace. i find this peace in the calm radiance of morning or in the early evening - the time of day when shadows lengthen and textures are emphasized. i am up before dawn every day, eager to be in my studio overlooking the vast columbia river basin. morning light is the best for capturing the drama and beauty of the rural farmland in which i work and live. in the wintertime my inspiration is the huge and powerful sky, while in summer irrigation turns desert land into rich rolling green fields, lush vineyards and orchards. the landscapes and skyscapes that surround me everyday are a constant source of inspiration and wonder. their ever changing modes – from peaceful and tranquil to dramatic and stormy – often seem to imitate life. most images represented on this page also have large flat gilded frames. |
