Artist Statement
As a landscape architect, I have a great appreciation for natural environments, designed spaces and special places that people enjoy being in. As a native Californian, I am especially drawn to the diverse natural and manmade environments of this state. I spent some concentrated time learning the techniques of plein air painting in 1999 and 2000 while I was living in Rhode Island, but it wasn’t until I returned to California in 2001 that my desire and motivation to paint landscapes became supremely energized. The foothills, coastal landscapes and unique neighborhoods of California feed my soul. Through painting I celebrate the uniqueness of my home state and the joy of returning home.
