In this series of paintings, Spirit of Place, I explore the idea of land, memory, and connection through expressive, abstracted landscapes. Content or mood is conveyed through quick and deliberate brushstrokes, expressive lines, bold colors, and implied light.
Variations of light are used to reinforce mood, symbolizing a spiritual connection to place, referring to its distinctive or cherished aspects, or can reference the intangible energy and/or Spirit of a place (or soul). The landscape imagery, referencing spirit, memory, and passage of time is meant to be both haunting and celebratory.

This painting’s medium is oils on canvas. I typically begin the painting process with oil bars or pigment sticks, applying and wiping pigment away until I find the composition. Often, works have many layers formed through the process of finding the image and from the evolution of the composition.
