Canvas
Oil | Relief | Drawings
Working in the field of Abstract Landscape, I use glazing techniques to explore mood through color. I’ve used the same subject to investigate the intersection of earth, water, and sky. The unpeopled landscape shifts from the recognizable to the unknown, from restful to unsettled, from the observed to the imagined through a changing color palette.
