Artist Statement
My paintings are a nuanced conversation between sense-of-place and my perceptions. I paint landscapes that I know intimately, and the origins of my paintings begin with walks in nature making field sketches. These notes, photographs, sketches and memories are then used to create large scale paintings in my studio. Generating the energy or spirit of a place both steadies and allures me, and is my deepest way of expressing gratitude. Embracing the visions of regionalist painters, magic realism, female surrealists and mythology, I like for my work to engage peoples connection to their outer and inner landscapes, to feel dreamlike and to also maybe give you deja vu. I see a painting as an object but also a vibration, an archive, a mirror, and as a portal one can enter into.
