Landscape 105
oil on canvas
12.5 x 12.5
The Earth’s diverse surface is fascinating. The vegetative environments invite viewers to visit a place. Local light and atmosphere affect the plant life that thrives, the colors we see and experience of mood and energy. These paintings explore memory and landscape with complex spatial environments that hover between painterly realism and abstract passages.
Raised in rural Wisconsin and moving to Florida and Texas in my first thirteen years piqued my interest in diverse landscapes and flora. Whether a mass of color blur or the focal point, each is recording its environment and time. My creative practice, focusing on materials and process, reflects my chemical engineering background. The bold use of initial marks that swirl through the backgrounds of compositions, echo and amplify the rhythms of the naturally created elements. Visual density from transparent to opaque are leveraged in creating organic textures. Color is a vehicle to convey energy from nature.
This work is my attempt to keep what time has already taken.
