Golden Gate I By: John Warren Travis

Deeply thoughtful, Warren Travis both relishes and is daunted by the painting process, and philosophical about its challenges. He often works in series, investigating subjects over time, from shifting perspectives, interested in observing changes in what (and how) he sees.

“I carry my landscapes with me. From the pass to the north, deserts and mountains of El Paso Del Norte, where I was raised, onto my destiny, California, where I arrived in 1960. The abundance of nature from shore to mountains has constantly replenished my spirit. Now, in Columbia, Missouri with decided seasons of snow, spring, summer, and autumn, my work attempts to capture the ineffable power of nature--a spring from my greying. Not renderings, but reminders of this fragile terrain. I carry my landscapes with me.”
