Oil & cold wax painter

My paintings explore the landscapes and natural world that I live in and love. I work with abstracted techniques in oil and cold wax medium to distill the landscape into an emotional response that aim to connect with others.
I paint intuitively, creating expressive marks through many layers of paint, where glimpses of what came before can be seen. This multi-layering process is central to my work as it creates a sense of history and story to each painting where each layer informs the next.
My paintings begin with a loosely held intention, followed by intuition, and layer upon layer of expressive and playful mark making. Working with oil and cold wax medium allows me to build and excavate complex and interesting layers that create incredible complexity, depth and interest to the art making process and the final image that I hope enables a dialogue—one that invites the viewer to explore their own personal responses to my work.
