Life is an adventure.

Every day is a continuation of its journey, every step takes us through, around, beyond, over, under, below, above, and within the landscape. And while it seems like some people get an easy ride in a limousine through sleek city streets, we are all, in reality, walking. No one takes the steps for us, because they have steps of their own to take. No one is another person’s chauffeur.

The artwork, Beauty and the Abyss, invites us to step into an especially beautiful, and rugged, landscape – along the Hermit Trail in the Grand Canyon National Park, in Arizona, USA. There are no easy paths here – and few people, despite the millions who visit the national park each year, find it – but those who do, discover a place magical and surreal. (Isn’t that, really, what we seek for in life? To go beyond the prosaic, ordinary, expected, and commonplace?)

The young woman walks freely and easily because she is in no rush to get where she is going....

I am a fine art painter who creates representational images celebrating light, life, and color. A commercial illustrator for more than 20 years, I have been painting for most of my life, and in the last 13 years have focused exclusively on fine art. I celebrate images that invite the viewer to step into the artwork and experience a sense of joy, peace, freedom, encouragement, meditation, and thought. There's a lot of angry art out there, as well as a lot of shallow pop. I choose to use the abilities and experience I have to promote beauty and goodness.
