Landscape Transition

March Feature: Illinois Artisans, Chicago

"My landscape paintings draw the viewer into a heightened vision of color and gesture, depicting the natural world with colors that are intense, lush, and dramatic.  The colors go beyond traditional ideas of a green landscape. 

Teasing out the complex colors in the landscape I create layers color, line, and form.   The works depict powerful moments from my travels in the everyday landscapes of our world."
