My work explores landscape, memory, and imagination through the medium of painting. Beginning in moments of perception outside, the paintings are rooted in experiences of connection with the natural world in various states. Taking snapshots as source materials, I make multiple variations of each landscape. Through this process, the image is distilled and transformed into new spaces bearing only a trace resemblance to their source. The resulting visual worlds, imbued with memories, dreams, and the spontaneity of painting, are landscapes, shelters, and imaginative realms where color, form, and gesture coalesce into a transitory whole.
