ABSTRACT TREE PAINTING
I paint trees in bold colors because something exciting is continually happening: the seemingly calm and quiet forest is engaged in “heavy lifting”: the onerous job of manufacturing and purifying the air we breathe. Whenever I’m in the presence of trees I am struck by how anthropomorphic they are—with curiously intertwined branches, sentinel-like stances, protective canopies, and the collective ability to convey through their leaves and trunks that all is well in the soil and the air, or that something is amiss. Knowing that these arboreal giants share nutrients through root connections with neighboring trees is a provocative and reassuring fact that echoes our own human social interaction.
