Artist Statement

This pieces is from a series titled 'On the Road Again'. The series developed as pandemic travel restrictions began to lift. Alaska was my first destination following availability of the vaccines. It is a juxtaposition of the wilderness and the midcentury signs found in the towns of Alaska The background utilizes a photograph of icebergs that I took and the sign is a hand painted rendering based off of another photo from the same trip.
