Chugach Sunset I

acrylic on canvas
Size: 30 x 40

The beauty and variety of the natural world has always been my source of inspiration. From early memories of the rural New England dairy farm of my youth, I have cultivated a curious reverence for the environment around me. My practice relies on close observation followed by intuitive expression. My paintings serve as visual poems of lived experiences. I paint my memory of a place or moment in time. Instead of reproducing what I have seen, I use meditation, music, and improvisation to stir my visual creativity. I work slowly to allow the paintings to evolve over time, layering pigments, lines, materials, and shapes to evoke natural colors and textures. The resulting compositions radiate an underlying organic energy. I hope my works draw viewers in and invite an emotional response. This painting is my experience of the sky and the Chugach Mountains seen from my hotel room in Anchorage, Alaska.
