Valley of Fire Vista
Earthy desert color and broad mountain forms capture the quiet scale of Valley of Fire.
Sometimes you don’t have to go far to get away.
A quiet morning on Lake Allatoona transformed into an expressive study of stillness, reflection, and the restorative feeling of being on the water.

Painterly / palette-like
The Original Moment
Valley of Fire Vista began with the broad mountain landscape and layered geology of Valley of Fire, Nevada. The scale, warm earth tones, and rugged forms created a quieter kind of drama than the park’s brighter red-rock views.
From Photograph to Art
The finished artwork uses a quieter painterly interpretation with earthy browns, warm ochres, muted blue-gray, and broad desert forms. I wanted to preserve the scale and stillness of the Southwest landscape while letting color and texture carry the mood.
