I enjoy the challenge of landscapes. They can be emotional, complex, full of personality, and abundant with unforeseen opportunity. While my pieces seek to build an illusion of space, there is a moment when that space comes into question. This questioning of perception is a reoccurring theme in contemporary art and I am interested in exploring it further through the lens of the landscape. I find that chaos, awe and fear are revealed in ways I could not plan when I begin a piece. I am influenced by contemporary film noir, literature on the woods, and research of natural phenomena.
