Artist Statement
As I’ve grown in my practice, I’ve become inspired to do more than paint the land around me. I want to paint with it, on it, and in it. The outdoors call to me in such a primal way that I can’t ignore. Of course I want to paint a pretty sky, but I also want to know why the clouds formed that way and if they are different somewhere else. I want to know how the weather affects the valley compared to the mountains. I want to make people consider how long it took for bison trails to form and what could possibly strip bark off a tree. To me, a landscape painting isn’t just a pretty picture, it’s a thousand stories summed into one scene and it’s up to us to find out what those stories are.
