“Working plein air and through the night has given opportunity for real connection. When working outside, I consciously invite engagement; turn off music, go barefoot and respond in an intuitive way. By inviting the elements such as mist, rain, sunlight and debris to become imprinted onto my paintings, each work serves as a time and site-specific record of the natural world.”
