Artist Spotlight

Artist Bio

Inspired by landscapes, dreams, and memories, I make paintings incorporating energetic gesture, layered color, organic geometry such as tree branches, triangle or dot patterns, and sometimes digitally manipulated figures or objects via image transfer.

Working outside en plein air, painting directly from the landscape, allows particular, distinctive tree “personalities” and forms to emerge. Trees affect quality of life, yet may be overlooked and underappreciated: unsung climate change heroes, property value anchors, intelligent elders, and constant, gracious companions.
