- Bio & Statement -
My work is rooted in stillness, atmosphere, and the subtle emotional weight of place. I am drawn to moments when light is low and forms soften—dusk, nightfall, winter, and weathered landscapes where quiet becomes the subject. These conditions invite a slower way of seeing, one that allows nuance and restraint to speak more powerfully than detail alone.
Working primarily in tonal values, I explore how light moves across land and water, how edges dissolve, and how mood emerges through simplicity. Whether painting en plein air or working in the studio, I strive to distill a scene to its essence—balancing structure and softness, clarity and mystery. I am less interested in describing a location than in conveying how it feels to be there.
Montana’s wide spaces and shifting skies deeply influence my work. The landscape offers both solitude and presence, and I aim to honor that duality in my paintings. Through muted palettes and thoughtful composition, I invite the viewer to pause, breathe, and enter a moment of quiet reflection.
