Artist Statement

As a pilot, photographer and artist, I create images to evoke a spirit of place.
With the perspective from above, I offer a sense of the beauty, breadth and interconnection of earth, sea and sky. The patterns and shapes from the aerial view – not seen from the land – come with surprise and delight. As I move through the air with my camera and aircraft, I capture the flow, color and depth of coastlines, marshes, rivers and land with their unique meetings and forms. My images welcome you to landscapes of ever-changing beauty and even valuable lessons, showcasing nature’s ways.
Through my fine art aerial photography, I aim to inspire an awareness of the beauty and fragility of our earth so to honor its significance, meaning and long -term preservation.

Interpreting the Natural: Contemporary Visions of Scholars’ Rocks
2026-09-20 - 2027-01-17 | The Art Complex Museum, 189 Alden Street, Duxbury, 02332, United States
The Duxbury Art Center present
Interpreting the Natural:
Contemporary Visions of Scholars’ Rocks
September 20, 2026 – January 17, 2027
Reception: Sunday, September 20, 2026, 1:00 – 4:00 pm

Guest Curator, Donna Dodson, brings together ten artists whose
practices engage with the ancient Chinese tradition of appreciating
naturally occurring stones as vessels of contemplation, metaphor, and
imaginative space. The exhibition explores how today’s artists
reinterpret the spirit of scholars’ rocks through a range of materials,
scales, and conceptual approaches.
Rather than replicating historical forms, the featured works consider how nature is shaped; physically, culturally, and spiritually. Some artists emphasize geological presence and raw materiality, while others evoke symbolic landscapes, cosmology, or interior states. Together, these contemporary responses extend a centuries-old dialogue between art and nature, inviting
viewers to slow down and recognize the power of the organic world to
prompt reflection and wonder. This exhibition offers a fresh perspective on an enduring artistic lineage, bridging tradition and innovation.
Participating artists
Christopher Frost, Kate Gilbert, Danielle Krcmar,
Lisa Tang Liu, Kathy Della Lucia, Andy Moerlein, Wen-hao Tien, Alice
Wu, Yu-Wev Wu, Qhanzhou (Jack) Zhao
