I love the word Wanderlust. It is a strong part of me, as I am always looking around the next corner and love meandering through the countrryside.

This is one of the pieces in my western landscape series. On a trip out west, to Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona, I did a lot of hiking with my cameras in my backpack. Many of these pieces are based on my photographs.

I used many glazes of color to do this painting, which makes it glow. You can also see my strong use of diagonals, which comes to me naturally.
