Artist’s Statement
"I paint landscapes from observation, responding to the juxtapositions between nature and human built structures. The urgency of painting with oils outdoors necessitates a quick response between my vantage point and the painting’s surface, moving between representation and abstraction. Depicting paired down simplified dwellings, land, and water, I emphasize color relationships and spatial tensions seeking a visual narrative that is as insistent as the subject.”
