ABOUT
"...I've been returning to this region, studying the light, changing weather conditions and observing the unique geological and ecological presence that pulses throughout this time-weathered land for over eight years. Each return births a series of new paintings, deepening my love, appreciation, and emotional connection to this place. Through this ongoing relationship, I focus on the silent atmospheric beauty that hangs in the air - the same transcendental awe that has helped me through a time of loss, enriching my spiritual growth and informing my art practice for the past two decades. It is here, in these quiet moments, where I've found myself deepening my senses to the volume of air before me - surging an awareness no longer of oneself but a consciousness that extends well beyond."
