A New Land

I spent a good part of my work career flying across the country, often leaving early in the morning as the sun was coming up. I enjoyed looking out the airplane’s windows on the landscape below, seeing the rivers, streams and neatly furrowed rows of crops from 20,000 feet. These images always gave me hope. In this series, I present America at a new, hopeful, optimistic beginning in a post-pandemic world. I also present a new type of landscape painting, unbound from the traditional two-point perspective and horizon line. Just as the pandemic upended life around the world, these works upend the way we view landscape art.
