Presentation

As our world becomes more and more complicated and confining, we crave freedom. Whether that freedom comes in the form of wide open spaces or in our spirit, it is that one imperceptible quality that is missing from many of our lives. It is this search for freedom that I explore in my art. 

I find the landscape the perfect subject for exploring this theme. Vast open spaces and big skies, where the weather shapes the land; these landscapes are places where a person’s thoughts have room to grow and the self becomes small in comparison to the grandeur of the universe. While the landscape forms the majority of my work, there are diversions into the people and animals that best represent the free spirit. 

My work is mostly representational painting in an impressionistic style. I am less a slave to a particular ‘ism’ though, as with accurately representing a particular mood or spirit. I don’t strive to copy nature exactly. I want to capture an emotion, allowing the viewer to feel a sense of grandeur and awe, or maybe even a touch of loneliness. Sometimes all I’m asking of the viewer is to step away from the turmoil of modern life to reflect on the natural beauty of the world. I want the viewer to get a sense of the internal stories that exist inside of me. Quiet stories of a life lead simply.
