“When I was three, I picked up a pencil and began to draw. My parents, who found this interesting, provided me with a table in the family kitchen on which to work. I would draw for hours at that table.
Growing up in rural Minnesota, I had a physical and emotional connection with the large skies and expansive landscape of the region. Along with this response to the natural world, I had an affinity with the abandoned farms, rusted cars and farm equipment, and the sense of the past that permeated this world.
The large landscapes I physically inhabited when I was young and the expansiveness of my vision brought me to painting. Through gesture, color, and form I can articulate my visual experiences and emotional responses to my life in a physical world. Abstraction allows me the opportunity to create landscapes that are a physical, rational response to external and internal experiences.” — JH
