​Statement


What I find most intriguing is the ever changing light on the American western landscape.  My paintings attempt to interpret this shifting light on the shapes and planes.  I have a natural tendency to distill these views of nature into more abstract forms while trying to respect a sense of real place.  This struggle between abstract and accurate representation from within is a comfortable tension that keeps art interesting.  Most importantly, I feel there is a certain muscularity of energy, a dynamic solitude, in nature that I try to capture in paint strokes.  Color and application of the medium reflecting this energy are the prioritizing factors in the end.­
