I work as a landscape painter in Austin, Texas. My inspiration is primarily from the woods nearmy house where I walk the trails in the morning; it’s this experience of constant observation that informs my work. Instead of working straight from photographic information, I rely on visual and sense memory to guide the painting.

While I tend to move back and forth from realism to abstraction, my ultimate goal is to be as loose as possible, to create work that hints at, more than describes the landscape. Using a palette knife, or oil sticks, I put down spots of color in a grand experiment that pushes the limits of credulity for the viewer. Can bright pink really read as bright sunlight?
