Inspired by the rich history of art of the natural landscape, I infuse my paintings with a sense of intimacy, rawness, and vulnerability, transporting the genre into the contemporary realm.

As my technique has evolved, I have progressed from an emphasis on representation and detail towards abstraction and the use of color layering for emotional effect. The influence of Impressionist landscapes on me made a profound mark towards my desire to use color deliberately in this way.

My personal experience of wilderness landscape has had a profound influence on my well-being, and viewers of my work may recognize a spark of something familiar.
