“Growing up and living much of my life in Montana, I have always been drawn to the landscape for inspiration. In recent paintings and drawings, I have explored sublime aspects of nature. My intention is to convey a message about the balance and sense of calm that can be found in a chaotic world. I find inspiration in my gardens and the creatures that inhabit it. Big truths can be found while looking at the phenomenal world that is spread beneath our feet. I desire that the viewer finds beauty in my work that will inspire them to further seek out the joy and wonder in their own surroundings—whether it is a bee in flight, the symphony of color in a garden, or the simple joy that can be found when examining a blade of grass swaying in the breeze.” — Bob Durden
