What we see is related to what we have already seen and what we feel is related to what we have already felt. This collecting, Processing, comparing, and acquiring of information is always going on unconsciously. It is that point between observation and representation (the eye and the brain) that I am working with. I use the landscape in which I live as a starting point for the “idea” though I am careful not to reproduce nature instead I want to represent her. I am trying to present a moment of grace that viewers could connect with based on their own past experiences.
