My paintings explore imagined landscapes that exist between abstraction and representation - places that feel familiar, yet cannot be located on a map.  Rooted in the forests, meadows, and mountains of the Pacific Northwest, the work invites viewers into intimate spaces shaped by light, shadow and layered color.  From a distance the paintings read as landscapes; up close, they dissolve into texture, mark, and transparency, revealing the process and complexity beneath the surface.  I am drawn to moments of transition- where light filters through trees, where paths open and recede, where stillness holds the promise of movement.  These spaces offer a quiet invitation to pause, wander, and imagine what lies just beyond view.
