The landscape is the artist's canvas for exploring personifications of beauty and symbolic meaning through our relationship with nature. The creation and appreciation of beauty through the allegorical treatment of landscape imagery gives us experience of the very essence and mystery of the world about us, where the artist’s creative vision brings a new meaning to things. As a manifestation of life's journey such images evoke dreams, memories and contemplative reflections on life. It is a further way of seeing and perceiving the world.
