Wildlife

I have a deep appreciation for nature. Being outside is where I go to center myself and feel like I’m a small part of a bigger picture. I enjoy painting landscapes and animals because it allows me to capture some of the magic and connection I feel outdoors and bring it into the home. My painting process involves a careful balance of technique and intuition, building up layers of oil paint to create depth, contrast, and character. Not every area is detailed. I concentrate on the interplay of colors and forms, working to create a compelling focal point with increasing abstraction and negative space towards the edges of the painting.
