"As a starting point in my work I often think of the view from an airplane window and how the surface below is mapped out by the intervention of the human hand. The roads, the buildings and homes, congestion in contrast with open spaces, and how those elements interact with natural elements and each other. There is an ordered sense of chaos, a quiet beauty, when the landscape is viewed from above. Referencing images of the earth’s surface only as a starting point, my painting layers evolve from the complexities of pattern, structure of lines and vast open spaces discovered - to take on a life of their own." — Deborah T.
