I have always been intrigued by nature. It is so complex, and yet can offer such tranquility. Being in nature gives me a sense of freedom, and liberates me from all my worries. I convey emotion by using color schemes specific to each landscape painting, and I incorporate personal feelings that arise from actually being in the specific setting. No matter where I go, there is always something captivating about the landscape around me. My hope is to make paintings that are an outcome of how nature influences my senses. I want my work to be honest, and expose a measure of who I am.
