In My Dreams I Am On A Mountain, 2025
Digital archival print on canvas - 30x90”
“In my dreams I am on a mountain, and the mountain is me. It is my whole life, it is my whole world — Journal entry, 1988
For almost 40 years I have photographed, drawn, painted, sculpted and dreamt all things “Mauna Kea”. And now, for the first time, a purely digital prototype — no paint, no pictures, only pixels.

Every touch of the brush
Every spot of color
Is just “Yes or No”
Yes or No
Always
Like a fork in the road
Follow the road
Follow your heart
And the painting paints itself
Journal entry, 2000
