Statement
I spend a lot of time out in nature, running skiing and biking. This is where I find inspiration.
As I paint, I juxtapose specificity with ambiguity to allow viewers to assign their own personal projections to my work.
My belief in the intrinsic worth of wild lands informs my art practice as does my intention to connect people with nature.
At the core of my practice is giving back the love and gratitude I feel and hopefully instilling those feelings in others.
