This exhibition celebrates the work of the 100+ artists participating in Open Studio Tour.
In architectural school, we were trained to use our eyes in a new way, to observe carefully and to consider the elements of line, proportion and composition as tools of creation. The natural world has its own set of relationships. In this show I have reenvisioned the natural world through my training and expertise and present it as I see it - a few paintings in the show depict my interpretation of places I loved on hikes in Arizona - or as it exists in my imagination. In other pieces, I have simplified and abstracted my sensibilities as an architect into color and line, hoping to engage the viewer directly on an emotional level.
