Petrified Forest artist residency

In October, 2011, I was Artist-in-Residence at Petrified Forest National Park.  Many national parks have artist residency programs: a place to stay and time to be inspired, make sketches, do some artwork, and begin to develop a body of work inspired by that park.  In return, artists give one or more public programs while at the park, and donate one piece inspired by the residency to the park.   Here are two of the pieces inspired by Petrified Forest's petroglyphs, fossils, petrified logs, animals and plants of desert grasslands, and   badlands. 

Video Interview

There's a six-minute video interview of me working in my studio and talking about what's behind my work (including medium, techniques, inspirations, approach, other aspects of what might be called personal philosophy) posted at http://www.greatsouthwestart.com/.  Thanks to Chris Jones of The Great Southwest Gallery, and to videographer extraordinaire Zach Wolfson of http://www.infusion5.com/, for bringing this video into being.
