ARTIST STATEMENT
Obsessed with color since childhood, I use oil paint and watercolors to create bright bold imagery. Having my home base in Utah, my work often features the diverse landscapes that I am surrounded by. I create high chroma representations of mountains, fields and desert landscapes exploring themes of chasing our dreams and aspirations with all the beauty and adversity that come with it. Studying color and the breadth of human emotion it conveys from the light and whimsical to the deep, dark, and heavy corners of our capacity to feel is one of my passions. To use unworldly combinations of color in an effort to convey the range of emotions that accompany the human experience through contemporary landscapes.
