My work combines personal memories of landscape with an imagined space to create a reimagined landscape. I am interested in combining the physical with the intangible. My paintings explore dynamic mark making and color to explore and meditate energy and space through paint. The colors chosen contrast between moments of tension and tranquility. They are a combination of those that are present in the landscape and those I envision when looking back on my memories of these places. The flat passages of color challenge the space by combining, pushing, and pulling the expanse. The repeated signature like motifs create a form that interacts with, invades, and observes the terrain. Its purpose within the landscape varies between a dominating presence, asserting itself into the space, and that of an observer, hovering or embedded within the land. The resulting image creates a space that better expresses my feelings and recollections of the environment.
