“The etching and aquatint called New Mexico, Mesa #1, executed in 1971 was one of the series of small prints I did while attending a special printmaking workshop in Santa Fe. This print reflects the feeling I had from the spectacular mountain landscapes of that area.
“Whether a painting, drawing or print, my work tries to capture some essence or feelings from nature, with its well performed pattern and visual music. I am a ‘happy painter,’ never more content than when the work is going well. I like a variety of mediums to suit my changing needs, but always, line, form and color are what I am involved in. Increasingly, my work is abstract, but it still related to nature – wind, waves, trees, landscape, clouds.”
