Artist, American, born 1951

The image shows a rugged landscape with layered rock formations and sparse vegetation. The horizon is high in the frame with clouds in the sky. Two main rock formations are visible, and smaller ones are spread out between them. Deep shadows accentuate the textured surfaces. The scene is monochromatic in gray and brown tones. Tufts of dry grass and shrubs are in the foreground, leading the eye to the distant rock formations. The image has a focus on natural forms, light contrasts, and appears to be a photograph.
