Statement:

The last couple years I’ve embarked on a series of paintings depicting the landscape of the Ohio River Valley. My approach draws on the traditions of plein air painting. I work rapidly from observation on site before the light changes the space too far from the initial moment I responded to. A small to medium panel has been just the right size to enable my wet into wet working method an opportunity to form a response to the surroundings. The work relates to the experience of seeing. These are spaces that are charitable in their play of relationships and encourage moments of discovery.
