My work evokes multi-sensory experiences heightened in solitude, creating a space that is quiet – but also rich with emotion and memory. This series of paintings started as a meditation on the role natural silence plays in personal well-being. Over the past several years, I have been re-forging my connection with nature through spending time in wild places and reflecting back on those experiences through painting.

To create these paintings, I build up dozens of layers of color on wet canvas by brushing small amounts of acrylic paint with other media. The resulting richness, subtlety, and depth of color push the limitations of acrylic media.
