My work is inspired by the natural world and our relationship to it. Working in plein air, I often paint and draw natural and built urban landscapes, ranging from desert and mountainscapes, to bustling city plazas replete with people. By intentionally inserting myself into a place as an observer and painter, I slow down to notice what's easily missed—the quality of light at a particular hour, the way a place composes itself , the life of a seemingly static scene. Through my art, I strive to capture and amplify the beauty of these often overlooked and under-appreciated moments by pointing attention to them. I hope my art invites you to pause, reflect, and find wonder in the seemingly ordinary.
