Artist Statement:
I paint contemporary landscapes inspired by the world around me.
Violent storms, wind, melting ice, post-nuclear deserts are common themes. I use luminous brushstrokes to suggest idyllic beauty in nature, while depicting hints of environmental change. I am inspired by landscape painting techniques used by the Romanticists painters of the 19th century and the Impressionists. These artists were working during a cultural shift from agrarianism to urbanism. I feel personally connected to these artists at that particular point in history because of the similar cultural shifts happening in industry and the world at large today.
