“My work centers on landscape as an emotional space rather than a literal one. The landscapes I return to most often are found in Maine—places that feel quiet, uninhabited, and suspended in time. In the process of painting, it often feels as though I’m editing—removing elements to quiet the composition and eliminate distraction. What remains—fog, soft horizons, simplified forms—becomes more powerful through restraint. These pared-down landscapes are meant to feel still and expansive, offering a sense of calm and quiet presence.”
