The greater Southwest has been a huge
inspiration for the roadscapes (landscapes
involving roads) that I’ve been working on
for more than twenty years. I have driven
all over the US, and images that I
photograph in the Southwest spark my
creative juices like no other region. I think
it’s the stark beauty of sky and earth
stripped down to their core elements that
pulls my soul.

On a quirkier note, there is a lot of unusual
roadside business that can be found in the
Southwest. Interstate 10 and US Route 66
[supplanted by I-40] are the two chief
arteries for passing through. As every
seasoned roadtripper knows, Route 66 is a
great source of vintage visual wealth:
funky old signage, souvenir shops, ageing
motels. I revisit some of these spots in my
“Southwest A to Z” series, comprised of
6x6” digital paintings representing every
letter of the alphabet.
