In this painting I was after an impression of otherworldly beauty - a glowing atmospheric phenomenon evoking wonder and awe. To help capture this effect, I used a minimalist approach to detail, allowing the interplay of vivid color and silhouettes to convey a powerful sense of place and feeling. Framed in an elegant black metal floater frame with a 1/8" silver lip.

Here I pushed the sky into an alternate reality striving to capture the mode of a day in its first transition towards evening. Oil on gallery wrapped linen.

With this painting I seek to capture one of those transcendent moments we experience in nature—fleeting instances of wonder that often prove elusive to photograph or to even recall in their full emotional impact. This is part of a series I call 'moodscapes': semi-abstract landscapes born from imagination and accumulated experience rather than direct observation.

My work stems from a simple truth: sometimes nature shows us something that takes us completely out of our ordinary world. Using broken, semi-abstracted brushwork and vivid colors, I work to recreate not just how these moments look, but how they feel—the way they lift our spirits and remind us that we're part of something bigger.

My process is largely intuitive, drawing from countless hours painting both the dramatic and subtle aspects of the natural world. I strive to create paintings that might spark viewers' own memories of meaningful encounters with nature. The larger scale of these canvases helps create an engaging experience, while the broken brushwork and semi-abstraction help to capture nature's energy and movement.

These 'moodcapes' are meant to bring some of nature’s vitality into our homes and daily lives. In a world where we spend so much time looking at screens, these paintings offer a different kind of window—one that might remind us of those moments when nature shows us its power to refresh our perspective and lift our spirits.
