About

Artist Statement:

My artwork delves into the relationship between humans and the natural world, capturing the essence of the spaces where we interact. Drawing inspiration from time spent in the wilderness, conservation projects, and family hikes, my paintings encapsulate unique moments within special places.

Working in small scale, my paintings employ a layering technique informed by my background in printmaking. Each layer adds depth, while the active line work mirrors the intricacies of etching.

With a fondness for public lands, my choice of subjects reflects the beauty and significance of these spaces. My art aims to celebrate and share the natural world in a succinct and evocative manner.

Artist Bio:

Born and raised in middle Tennessee, I have been inspired by traveling the country and seeing its landscapes. I received my BFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art in 2010, where I honed my skills in various artistic disciplines, including printmaking, film, and book arts, alongside my painting practice. I live and work in central Virginia.
