My goal is to celebrate and capture the beauty of landscapes flooded with light and color. My work seeks to capture the rhythms of nature: its rolling hills, undulating grasses and vegetation that stretch to meet distant horizons. I’ve worked in oils and now in acrylic and deeply admire the Southern California Impressionists. I strive to create evocative landscapes infused with color, and that resonant calm and serenity.
Originally I was an abstract oil painter. Intuitively I would add more paint, movement, shape and texture to the work. As the piece developed, the color would bring me into the painting. My work was emotionally expressive, pressing my feelings out onto the canvas. Now, drawing with pastels my work is more about deliberate choices. My painting compositions reflect my stories about travel, love and family. My inspiration is derived from mother nature, learning and exploring the world outside myself as well as my internal journey of self-reflection.
