Artist Statement
Along beside the backroads of this country their exist numerous expression of the American culture. My primary interest has been the interaction of man with the landscape through intentional and unintentional signs and symbols he has used to represent himself. For me, these symbols of man combine with the ever-present and ever-changing symbols of nature to reveal an enigmatic picture of life. My subjects are the obscure and the transitory. They are not hidden, but they are seldom noticed by the passer-by.
