It has always been difficult for me to put certain things into words. Perhaps this is why I became a musician, and why I paint. Music and painting are ways of expressing what I cannot always articulate with words. For me painting is a way of making connections through feeling, sensation, rhythm, colour, and space.

​

My landscape paintings are rooted in a desire to connect more deeply with nature. When I paint, I feel less like I am simply observing a landscape and more like I am entering into a relationship with it. The act of painting means responding to the rhythms, textures, light, and changing presence of the natural world.

​

Through my work, I hope to offer the viewer a moment to contemplate, reflect, and perhaps reconnect with something that can be difficult to name. I am interested in creating a space where the boundary between ourselves and the landscape becomes less defined, and where we might experience a sense of belonging within nature rather than simply looking at it from the outside.
