A geographer and an aspiring painter, for 60 years sketching/painting has been my research companion and the world, my studio. I paint with a geographer’s mind’s eye, an artist’s skill, and a free spirit while cherishing the landscape as a source of inspiration and thought expansion. Landscape painting elicits appreciation of natural processes, reflection on the historical past, and awareness of the potentialities of human action embodied in each place. Encounters with “new” landscapes—the interplay between heaven, land, and people—bring me joy. It is not the place per se, but rather how my mind responds in new ways, that enriches my being. I have shared my art through exhibitions in twelve countries and several books.
Contemporary and historic landscapes by a geographer/artist reflect the beauty, wonder, spirit and romance of sites/sights around the world captured in watercolour on a variety of papers and canvas during nearly 60 years of an ongoing painting journey.
