Artist Statement
I am living in New York City now and seeing the sky and clouds here is not easy. Last summer, we were visiting my wife’s mother in Derbyshire, England. She lives on a farm with rolling hills and vast expanses of sky to explore. When I saw the clouds, I knew I wanted to draw them. I think my mother in law would approve.
I draw in black in white because it can be bold, dark, and beautiful. It reminds me of music I enjoyed in the 80’s. The title “Atmosphere” comes from a song by that name by my favorite band, Joy Division.
