I've always been captivated by the beauty of the natural world, with its patterns and rhythms. Even as a child I found comfort and a sense of order and energy in patterns of color and light.
Most of my work fits in the genre of landscape. Beyond landscape though, I see the places I paint as stories of our natural and urban worlds.
In the studio I paint with oil, gouache or acrylic - sometimes mixing mediums. The medium depends on the trajectory of the painting. I work from plein air sketches, from my own photographs, and from memory, dreams and imagination.
Outdoors, gouache is most often my paint of choice due to its intense color capacity and because it's more earth-friendly.
