I am greatly moved by large sweeping panoramas of earth, water and sky as to me this is the essence of our spirituality. The perfect gifts of the Creator and my own internal vision of my own spirituality are the basis of my work. There is an eternal solitary exploration of these visual subjects with brush palette and canvas.
