About

As a landscape painter, I am drawn to remote, archetypal landscapes—places where human presence feels distant and the land speaks for itself. In these environments, beauty is raw and unresolved, holding splendor and horror, order and chaos in equal measure. Without the earth, we do not exist. Our lives are bound to the natural world, a truth made ever more urgent as climate disasters reshape the planet.
My paintings grow from this understanding. I begin with an idea, a place to imagine and enter, then allow the process to lead me forward. Years of practice have taught me when to guide and when to release, when to act and when to watch. Each painting is built slowly, layer by layer—wash and line, mark and form, transparency and opacity. What came before is buried, uncovered, altered. The process feels akin to tending a garden: too much sun, too little rain, sudden storms—will it endure? I step back, respond, and adjust. Something is removed, something added, something shifts. Through experience, intuition, patience, and an embrace of imperfection I push the landscape into new realms.
