Statement
My paintings explore the shifting thresholds between wilderness and perception, where water meets land, light breaks across snow, and decay quietly nourishes renewal. Drawn from direct observation and memory, each work captures a moment of transition: thawing, fading, drifting, or emerging. The compositions are grounded in the specificity of place, northern lakes, inland forests, and winter fields, but they are also meditations on impermanence and intimacy with the natural world. Through layered brushwork and subtle distortions of perspective, I aim to convey not just what these landscapes look like, but how they feel to inhabit.
