2023, Acrylic on canvas, 36 x 36 in

My art explores the human interaction with the natural world, and the transient moments that provide clarity and pause. As an abstract landscape painter, I have always sought to portray how experiencing a landscape feels rather than how it looks. When I first flew in an airplane as a teenager, I was mesmerized by the way the world beneath me appeared. From the vantage point of the plane’s window, the shapes and terrain were rhythmically dancing and interacting with the sun’s light. These remembrances inform my process-based painting series called “Brainscapes” where literal references to landscapes are removed and transparent layering of light, color, and movement work together to elicit a visceral response. For me, these paintings are evocative of the fleeting moments of awe experienced while in the presence of nature.

My paintings are responses to the extraordinary reverence one experiences in the presence of nature. The magic of the movement, the light, and the scale, combined with my perceptual experience, have led me to move beyond literal references to landscapes to capture the visceral quality of the feeling of nature. I always begin my paintings with a strong gestural line. From that starting point, shapes evolve. They are usually organic shapes that nudge each other. The immediacy and quick drying of the acrylic paint allow me the flexibility to layer shapes, adding depth and complexity to my compositions. Buoyant color choices play a crucial role in the paintings’ emotional impact. To me, these paintings are joyful explorations of nature’s vastness.
