"Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads." - Henry David Thoreau. I agree, thus I am driven to see that the majesty of nature not be overlooked, either in my life or the life of others. That majesty has always been recognized, even by the First Peoples. They believed God --or some Great Spirit-- was revealed in and through nature. I see no reason to doubt them. My work encourages an awareness of what animates the beauty of the natural world. Sometimes there is a glimpse, or maybe just a hunch, of the Source of it all. This Source dwells within the water, the rocks, the trees. Thoreau understood this. This subject matter requires a monochromatic treatment. The black and white rendering allows the spirit of a place to be more fully evident.
