As a plein air painter, I work on location, drawn to the patterns of light and shadow that shape each landscape. I aim to capture what makes a place unique by distilling it down to its most compelling elements—always led by composition and a strong sense of light. Painting outdoors deepens my connection to the land and invites me to tell the story of a moment in time, whether shaped by season, climate, or change. My work reflects a lifelong dedication to observing and honoring the natural world through oil paint.
