Artist Statement
I am a painter. I paint sky. I am awed by its beauty and complexity. Observed changes in weather fronts, cloud formations, and shifts in light and color inform my work. Atmospheric conditions constantly change; countless, precise, invisible, adjustments are ceaselessly processed, balanced, and realigned. These systems are vital and alive to me. Each piece is an attempt to capture a moment in time and record both the change and the changeless in this vast system.

My work is also about process. I have created a method of working that combines my interests in art, nature and science. It is a two-step process of field work and studio time. In the field, I use direct observation, photography, personal notations, weather statistics, and digital recordings. In my studio, I explore the process of production through manipulation of physical materials, drawing, painting in, painting out, layering, re-drawing, and glazing. Elements of time, motion, and sequence are addressed in this process.
