My work is informed by place. The weaving
together of interior and exterior space and what exists in between. This body
of work reflects the environment I live in and move through around and over
on a daily basis. Using a vocabulary of horizontal and vertical forms to reference
architecture and light, I am interested in spaces that bridge, connect and frame
parts of the landscape. It is the duality of nature and structure, separation
and connectedness that I choose to explore in these paintings.
The use of color and surface in my work reflect the textures and colors of various
landscapes as experienced through time and memory. Saturated color and reduced
formal elements merge to capture the essence of a particular moment. Thinking
about landscape, light changing, atmosphere and how one's particular relationship
to place shapes that memory form the basis of my approach in this series of
paintings.
