My paintings capture the mood and drama of the natural wilderness through expressive brushwork, bold color, and a dynamic sense of movement. Water is central—rivers, waterfalls, and coastlines act as living protagonists, their rhythms shaping the entire composition. Inspired by Tom Thomson and the Group of Seven as well as William Wendt’s structural approach to composition, my work bridges representation and painterly abstraction. Large canvases immerse viewers in expansive vistas, while smaller jewel-like pieces condense vast landscapes into concentrated, intimate visions. Together, they reflect the dual experience of nature—grand yet fleeting, immense yet fragile—while my ongoing series spanning all fifty states unifies diverse terrains into a single story of place, vitality, and renewal.
