"After
26 years at the National Geographic Magazine, I am back to my
surrealistic roots. Surrealism is a way for me to create my own
world whether it be an archeological recreation recreation, deep sea
representation, or a futuristic scene. My use of realistic
juxtapositions proved to be my key to scientific art with the
National Geographic society. My ability to render in high
detail and a vivid imagination are the prerequisites for creating accurate
paintings of historic people, the places they lived and worshipped, as
well as the inner workings of both animals and machines. After 26
years of scientific art, my work is now going full circle back to my fine
art roots in surrealism, reflecting realistic images in unnatural settings
or unnatural images in even more bizarre environments."
