The American Southwest

I traveled through this area first in 1988, en route to Mexico, and touched on the more northerly reaches again in the mid-nineties. Although this corner of the country, in my mind at least, is the most beautiful and dramatic area of the United States, strangely, I have only created a few paintings of the scenes I saw there. This journey was more complete, covering the entire region know as the "Grand Circle"; centered on the four corners, it is the only location in the U.S. where four States meet at one point. This time the region's art and history were my primary interests, particularly the Sandpaintings of the Navajo and Ute. The landscapes were as stunning as ever however, and I can't resist sharing a handful of these with you.

Written material and additional images, of the Art, history and the Mythologies of the area, will follow soon, likely in the year end update. In the meantime, please enjoy the following:
