Artist Statement
When painting the natural environment, I feel peace within myself. The context of my
work is the exploration and depiction of the innate beauty that surrounds us within landscapes,
seascapes, and the clouds above. To step back, engage, and think about the world as peers and
the delicacy of the natural environment that is constructed. My use of color and depth evokes
presence and emotion, focusing on the alluring scenery with an essence of subtle dramatics.
The natural world is extravagant, it’s comforting to know that the world is not perfect so there is
no desire to be perfect, it's uniquely beautiful and full of odds. It carries so much artistic charm
to be seen with the human eye and I desire to experience that charm, in the moment, and my
art.
