My work explores connections between the personal and the shared experience of global climate change. The marriage of abstract structure and landscape is a fresh perspective into my contemporary landscape paintings by examining the tension between organic and synthetic. I follow cues from the natural world and find pleasure in observing its anomalies and curiosities. I have developed an emotive visual language that expresses my concerns about the loss of the natural world while exploring themes of compassion, empathy, and friendship.
The landscape tells its story throughout, characterized by combining different scapes. It has roots in the natural phenomena of humankind’s attempt to understand and sometimes control our environment. Through painting, I try to connect the differences between life and natural scenery in the age of change—ultimately, the ebb and flow of human participants with the complexities of nature threads.
