There’s really nothing quite as breathtaking as standing at 8,000+ feet overlooking the majestic snow-capped mountains of the Canadian Rocky Mountains, the sun warm on your face, wisps of clouds a couple hundred feet below, mountain ranges extending far into the distance. It’s like stepping into a panoramic scene from Planet Earth, into a landscape so grand and spectacular, it’s hard to believe that such magnificence exists, let alone your finite human capacity to appreciate it.

Abstraction ranges from the meaningless abuse of paint to the most lofty and exciting of surfaces. Each effort can be a creative event--a vehicle for the mysteries of the subconscious mind and an opportunity to flirt with pure forms, symbols and metaphors. It's an art of hiding and disclosing. More than simply playing with the materials, abstraction is a discovery of motifs that happen to be part of a painter's personal legend. Personality counts. Abstraction also holds the promise of dreams, fears, fetishes, fancies, intangibles and wills.
