As a dedicated student of nature, I have immersed myself in it’s continual study. While creating a visual map from my observations of nature, I am able to respond intuitively to them, and express individuality in each of my paintings. It is my quest to understand and explore the landscape; and as I do, it grows in vastness, and depth continually. “Knowledge is never complete. The study of art is a lifetime matter.”– Edgar Payne
