My paintings reflect the wondrous reality of familiar yet often unexplored scenes. The space between the earth, which grounds and connects us, and the seemingly empty vast space above which makes us think deeply and dream. I paint from my own emotional center; with an added focus on providing my art with texture and depth. I center the use of dark iron sand from the Oregon coast in every piece of art I create along with additional earth pigments.  This process allows me to uncover what is beneath the ground and how the unseen reflects onto the surface. The “Uncommon Landscapes'' and “Our Land” series are my personal interpretation of this wonderful life, planet, and the vast unknown.
