I did not set out to be a painter. Painting found me.

The focus of my work is those fleeting, crepuscular moments between dusk and nightfall, dawn and daytime when color and form are constantly shifting.

From memories of my childhood, I paint landscapes that evoke a sensation of boundless space.

I paint on small wood panels that elicit, in their scale and simplicity, personal place and a quiet presence of a very particular moment in time.
