Artist Statement:

My work explores the uplifting effect of the landscape on the human experience; I focus on capturing subtlety and atmosphere while extolling great appreciation for our natural surroundings. Nature is paradoxically calming and energizing; I relish the challenge of translating smaller, overlooked details like leaves, grass, water reflections or dappling sunlight into paintings celebrating the tranquility and vigour of the outdoors.
