"I am attempting to render in oil the sanctity of Oregon waterways in order to instill in others a sense of responsibility for their ongoing preservation. Recalling the work of Grant Wood, Georgia O'Keefe, and M.C. Escher, the patterns to be found in clouds, waves, branches, and trees suggest that nature has a math and a geometry, and can be reduced to cones, cylinders, and spheres".
