A little obsessed with trees...

Several years ago I decided to practice painting trees to improve my skills as a landscape painter. But once I began to carefully observe and make images of the woods, I discovered a Pandora’s box of questions about light and air and movement and memory. The paintings you see in my shop are my attempt to answer those questions. They were made as a response to both the incredible natural beauty of Maryland and to my childhood memories.
