The story behind the artwork

Part of my "elements" series that focuses on desert landscapes, echo explores the element of sound experienced within the depths of a slot canyon. Based on the echo chamber within an actual slot canyon in Zion National Park, the painting represents the repetitive vibration of sounds as they bounce along the curves of the sculpted canyon walls. Whether it is the sound of water dropping or the sudden crash of a loose rock, every sound resonates with the same repetition of an echo.

By combining highly texturized canvases with metallic paints a unique shimmering landscape appears that varies according to light source and viewpoint. A must see in person!
