I was recenelty introduced to the wonderful art of his wife, Sue Orchant. Sue paints on silk. Her work is vibrant and reflects my images on New Mexico, her home state and the Land of Enchantment. At the same time some of her pieces that deal with themes of celebrations, like Continuance, evoke the same feelings of myth as art I have seen from the Faroe Islands. However, works from the colder Faroes have the opposite palette reflecting their bleaker homeland. In both cases you sense joy and engagement with mythical themes. Sue brings this engagement to us through the warmth of the US Southwest. Evocation is another wonderful example of this depth and warmth.
