VINCULUM SERIES: These works explore the topographical relationships between prominent mountains and volcanoes in the North Cascades. Similar to bands of ligaments and muscles that stretch between bones creating structural integrity, the saddles that run between two peaks create a captivating geographic bond that lures aesthetic and physical exploration of the connecting formations.  This large painting shows the saddle between Mount Shuksan, the Shuksan Arm, traveling beyond the Ptarmigan Traverse and out to Kulshan/Mount Baker.
