My paintings are explorations of color, form and shape, using representation to inform the underlying structure of my work. Over the past several years, I’ve honed my observational skills in order to create compositions distilled down to essential elements. Though I love studio work, I also enjoy plein air painting. As a Northwest native, I head for the outdoors as soon as the sun appears. I paint primarily in oil and love experimenting with a variety of surfaces.
