I use landscape as a stage for the drama of light, air, and movement, looking beyond structured space toward its otherworldly qualities. I’m drawn to how light animates natural forms, revealing both stability and turbulence, and to the tension between atmosphere and solid planes.

My work is primarily observational. For years, I’ve focused on the dense rooftops of Brooklyn and New York City, where layered architecture—water towers, satellite dishes, and antennae—creates a visual rhythm. The sky and the spaces between buildings hold equal weight. Painting on-site in southern France, Ireland, and New Mexico has expanded my palette and deepened my response to varied, idiosyncratic landscapes.

More recently, climate-driven weather has shaped my work. Through textured, gestural marks, I depict radical atmospheric events, often drawing from altered video stills and news imagery. My newest work also explores unusual light apparitions in the night sky, such as the Milky Way and the Northern Lights. I’m drawn to the unexpected beauty within destruction, and to how weather aligns with my instinctive, alla prima approach while reflecting environmental change.

Spontaneity and directness are central to my process. I work primarily alla prima and in monotype, editing and exaggerating form. In printmaking, I use a subtractive method where each mark reveals light and texture, allowing for unexpected, painterly results.

Light, atmosphere, and weather continue to inspire awe—at times hopeful, at others unsettling. For me, painting is not only analytical, but a moment of sublime revelation.
