Winter in Colorado is a constantly shifting blend of form and color.  In early winter, the snow provides a clean backdrop that accentuates the shapes and colors of the trees, while the snow resting on the branches simultaneously transforms them into new forms.  In deep winter, the blanket of snow simplifies the landscape: strong-blue shadows from the clear, crisp Colorado days provide a variety of abstract forms that interplay with other elements of the scenery.  All of these forms are temporary, changing with each passing storm, and, ultimately, disappearing altogether in the spring.  I invite you to come and experience the ephemeral nature of the season in all its different forms.

This show is a selection of classic images from my Colorado portfolio, from the majestic plains of eastern Colorado to the aspen-covered slopes of the Rocky Mountains.  I’m also having a super sale where any unframed matted print in my studio will be sold for $200 each!  Just in time for the holidays, you won’t want to miss this sale.

Achromatic dunes rising from the Tularosa Basin shaped by the prevailing New Mexican wind, White Sands is a reflection of the unique environment around it.  Perhaps more widely known for the activities at the adjacent missile testing range, there is a graceful rhythmic quality to the environment that is just begging to be abstracted.  Formed of white gypsum from the surrounding mountains, the dunes absorb light and color.  The wind shifts this natural palette to create a constantly changing and unique landscape.  The dunes shift as much as 30 feet a year, and nightly wind storms make the dunes almost unfamiliar each morning.  One feels small and insignificant, surrounded by the seemingly limitless interaction between the sinuous forms of the dunes and the shadows that they cast on each other.  

In the fall of 2010 I spent four glorious days shooting White Sands and instantly fell in love with this mysterious environment.  From sunup to sundown, I spent as many hours as possible exploring the vast dune field, getting a feel for the various rhythms they encompass.  My approach to the dunes followed a natural progression from defining their relationship to the large-scale environment, to seeing how they related to each other, and finally to gaining an appreciation for their inherent abstract nature.  It was a great learning process for me.
