I have always felt a strong spiritual connection with mountains--from my earliest backpacking trips in the Colorado Rockies and later in the Oregon and Washington Cascades. Early on in the mountain series I realized that I wanted to convey not only the aesthetic power that the mountains hold for me but also their spiritual intensity. I wanted to generate images that suggest rather than define, so I could encourage viewers to bring their own experiences and visions to my landscapes. I hope that my mountain etchings engage viewers in concrete physical places that simultaneously evoke these places and encourage viewers to experience imaginative and more universal ways of seeing.
