My current body of work explores the landscape of my home state of Washington. I use traditional materials of oil on canvas to create compositions where the negative space of the dynamic skies of the Pacific Northwest plays a distinctive role to create a cinematic sense of atmosphere. Although I typically work in large scale, I am borrowing a page from the book of landscape painters of the 18th and 19th centuries that often recorded bucolic life of the outdoors in small, portable dimensions. Working in a scale that is tactile and personal enhances a sense of intimacy, like the sharing of an old photograph accompanied by stories, reawakening memories.
