Artist Statement
My love for public land and my love for painting are closely intertwined. I grew up visiting National Parks almost every summer with my family, while pursuing an interest in the arts. Eventually, these two interests merged and I began painting the vibrant colors and wide open spaces of American National Parks in the West.I hope to continue the tradition of artists using their skills to share the importance of preserving and caring for public land. My interest has expanded from National Parks of the west to any public land preserved for it’s beauty. When I paint, I paint with an intention to spread awareness of these beautiful places and share the delight of the human-nature connection. My work is designed to inspire the viewer to visit their public lands and spark memories of joy and connectedness in those who already share my love for these beautiful places.
