In 2004 after years of painting in the studio I went outdoors to paint the landscape. This simple act of going outdoors to paint for the next fourteen years had a major effect on my work and my focus.
These years of painting en plein air have changed the way I make paintings, the way I experience the landscape and the reason I paint.
The focus of my work is to paint the experience of the world from an authentic place. The process to this place was a long one. After a substantial amount of practice in the field I was able paint outdoors and successfully execute paintings that were closer to my inner vision.
