“Art does not reproduce the visible; rather it makes it visible.” ~ Norman Jean Harris
We drive along the roads blinded to the beauty that surrounds us. Whether we live in the mountains or the flatlands, there are innumerable scenes of beauty right before us, but we fail to see them. My job as an artist is to expose that beauty. I make the visible visible to you.
In July 2018, I wrote a blog post called “Look Again!” I started it with a quote from photographer Diane Arbus, “I really believe there are things nobody would see if I didn’t photograph them.” I concluded the post with, “My work exposes a view not otherwise seen.” Two years later, I embrace that thought even more than ever.
