Artist's Statement Excerpt...
Living in the Northwest somehow made me nostalgic
for the Southwest and I did something new; I started
painting figurative images in oils. -I think I like
oils because of the quality of the colors-. So this
figure- this Dude emerged and he seemed to represent
to me the ennui of the displaced American male, the
maverick, the cowboy without a range. There was a
real sense of nostalgia to these paintings of guys
and horses, trucks and dogs. Eventually he got lonely-
or I got romantic - and the dancer series appeared,
first with a mono print called Dancers in the moonlight.
