My artwork is usually focused on abstract, and impressionistic landscapes, although I also enjoy developing my technique through other art styles. Mainly self-taught, I work in a variety of mediums with an emphasis on acrylic, and oil pastels.

Being a Southwestern Michigan native, I couldn’t help but be influenced by Lake Michigan, and the surrounding scenery of the local area. I also draw inspiration from the four years I spent living abroad in Perth, Scotland and the other places I have traveled.

Applying abstraction allows me to explore the range of possibilities through line, and color while pushing the boundaries of how the landscapes are usually perceived. I often imagine there is much more beauty in this world than we can see with just our eyes. I believe it can be found in the midst of light and shadows, the spaces in between.
