[Open Spaces] explores 'place-keeping' through the lens of the natural landscape and shifting atmospheric conditions. I paint from memory, capturing the underlying emotional content of place rather than its precise appearance or geographic coordinates. By presenting imagery in this way it is my intent to offer an experience that is more universal and less physically defined by geographic coordinates.
[Traveling Light] interprets the invisible seen - a pulse in the air, echos, vibrations, invisible energy, frequencies.
[Ghost Writers] is limited series that seeks to capture the ephemeral nature of sent postcards often short lived or if kept their pristine appearance fleeting. Oil painted vistas, cancelled postage stamps and passages of original handwritten notes are captured and presented on thin wood panels.
"En Route" explores the familiar places we have known changed by the patina of time and memory. Environmental factors that have shifted the terrain, weathered structures and urbanization all present themselves in subtle and profound ways.
