Artist, American, born 1954

The image shows a rocky path flanked by steep cliffs on both sides, creating a natural corridor. The horizon is low in the frame, visible between the opening of the cliffs, leading towards distant hills in the background. The style is monochromatic with a range of gray tones highlighting the rough textures of the rocks. The rocky path is close with patches of dry grass scattered along its edges. The contrast between the dark rock face and the lighter sky creates depth in the scene.
