While my landscape paintings are inspired by specific places, they are informed by an emotional response to light and atmosphere. They are meant as evocation as well as transcription of place.

I try to speak to our human connection to the world through images that connect us back to the larger natural world.
Thomas Cole (the father of the Hudson River school) always wanted his work to have this quality.... images inspired by the "feeling" of places through the veil of memory and informed by the response to light.

Reminded that we are both a part of that nature and apart from it- all at once. The way that Autumn light rakes across a field or sunlight dapples on water, speaks to something universal within us, I am exploring the internal and external landscape at the point at which they meet.
