Bio

Having grown up in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Southwestern Virginia, my love of nature and
the contrasts of land and sky are illustrated in a painterly combination of color and line. My rich and intensely colorful impressionist and abstracted landscapes are about expressing a sense of belonging,of safety, of home. I try to draw you in and give you a sense of the majesty and the variety of the rich earth found in the Virginia countryside. Along with my use of brilliant colors, these techniques are combined to give a peaceful yet challenging landscape or abstract painting.

Whether realistic, impressionist, or abstracted, my paintings are of remembered places of my
childhood. All my paintings start with nature. Some of my favorite subjects are country back roads, the sunset’s light illuminating the hills the distance, the unusual shape of trees in shadow… all leading you to wonder what is around the corner or how the sky will change next.

In my paintings I try to recreate the emotions I feel when recalling a place… The sultry heat of
a summer afternoon, the soft light of a misty morning across a valley or open field, the layering of shadows under a clump of trees where I used to love to hide, the vastness and changeability of the skies over the Virginia landscape. All of this I hope to share from my memories. I strive to give you a genuine sense of place while at the same time of rest, of quiet beauty, of repose.
