This collection gathers landscape paintings—both contemporary and traditional—exploring the conversation between land, light, and atmosphere. Each work invites a slow, attentive look at shifting coastal skies, rain-soaked forests, and distant mountains, highlighting subtle changes in color, texture, and mood. From sweeping vistas to intimate scenes, the pieces use varied techniques yet share a shared eye for careful observation rooted in the region’s memory.

Composing a painting from an idea is always an exciting adventure. The concept can be focused on the force of the composition to convey the emotional impact, or the intellectual appreciation. As I've matured, I've found myself drawn more to abstracting the forms, preferring simplified shapes to carry the rhythm of the piece. I have enjoyed the practice of working on a series of paintings to express an idea.

I no longer work on murals because of the physical labor involved. But in the past I have enjoyed the strenuous and challenging work of mural artwork. From collaborating with groups to working individuals who have a specific goal in mind. One such mural I painted was commissioned by a wildlife safari hunter who conducted several guided trips into Africa. I painted a large mural depicting the landscape of the area he hunted, and which served as a background to his trophy animals.
