    Metaphors of the landscape: layering the poetic
    (Colorado State University. Libraries, 1997) Ryan, Helene Englander, author; Dietemann, David L., advisor; Dormer, James T., committee member; Williams, Ron G., committee member; Yust, Dave, 1939-, committee member; Erskine, Nancy, committee member
    The natural landscape provides a stage for dreams and reflection, for connection and renewal. It awakens the senses and quiets the mind. My paintings embody my imaginative contemplations similar to my experience in nature. Just as time and weather forms the land, my paintings are formed by many painting sessions, layering my poetic and visual responses. By working additively and subtractively, I intend to reveal the history that is embodied in the work.

    Mysteriously speaking of the mysterious
    (Colorado State University. Libraries, 1986) Schilling, Eugene Allen, author; Dietemann, David L., advisor; Ellerby, David A., committee member; Levine, Frederick S., committee member; Coronel, Patricia D., committee member
    As an artist, my work represents an esoteric, creative expression in terms of nonverbal, abstract communication. I intend to make use of certain aspects of abstract expressionism to convey my feelings through painting. These aspects represent personal thoughts and symbols. In so doing, I intend to bring a number of conceptual and visual stimuli together simultaneously. A primary concern is to take abstract expressionism to a new technical and conceptual level by using back-lighting as a principal element. In essence, this new element allows me to intensify the attention of the viewer.
