Artist's Statement
Quite often I think of the view from an airplane window and how the surface below is mapped out by the intervention of the human hand. The roads, the buildings and homes, the congestion in contrast with open spaces and how those elements interact with natural elements and each other. There is somehow always an ordered sense of chaos, a quiet beauty, when the landscape is viewed from above. Borrowing from these images of the earth’s surface, I have enjoyed the ability to travel over the landscape at will. My paintings have been influenced by the complexities of pattern, structure of lines and vast open spaces discovered through those virtual travels.-DTC 2011
