Artist Statement

 If I were to classify myself into one category as an artist, it would be a landscape painter whose work fluctuates back and forth between the representational and the abstract. Ultimately, the practice has become about exploration for me as a painter. My work as an observer is about discovering the unorthodox, often overlooked beauty seen within the landscape and presenting it to the viewer.
