Fare Forward is a visual record of my personal journey towards the wisdom that comes with knowing that, “life does not stand still, fare forward dear soul,” as Ira Dilworth wrote to Emily Carr in the later years of that great artist’s life. Those words written so long ago to comfort an aging friend are the inspiration for Fare Forward. Decades spent in the forests have taught me much about the necessity of failure in the success of life. This angst hones sentience in every living moment, the awe of things simple, the sweet joy of a glance. A rock moved, perhaps it rolled down into the trail, or a limb fell from a tree to settle across the path, insignificant yet notable–these are things I like to speak of in my paintings. The passage of time, the synchronicity and disparity of things aging. I use natural images as a language to express my awareness of how I am just one tiny part of an enormous experience. To learn more about Fare Forward, click here.
