My work reflects my observations of natural landscapes, vast skies and wide-open spaces. In my previous series of paintings I relied on my memories of my travels to East Africa where I was obsessed with the feel of the skies, the bands of lines making up the horizon and the trees that connected the two.
Using only a palette knife, my language is a process of layers. I balance soft colors with a rough textural surface in order to translate my observations into personal expressions.
Pulling from my experience in photography, I create a feeling of looking through or beyond the surface, as sometimes there are things that can only be seen or felt through a soft focus.
Feeling for a sense of balance, I capture the essence of those experiences in these paintings, my textural memoirs.

“I am reminded of a writing by Ortega Gassett. Somebody can look upon a garden through a window outside of their room. They can focus on the garden or focus on the pane of glass in the window but not at both at the same time. I don't believe that to be true for Artists. I believe we look at the window and the garden at the same time. We are most effective when we see beyond the window and beyond the garden. Piet Mondrian was looking for the same thing in his landscapes. I think you found it, or a part of it.”

“Love the complementaries”
