About

I am a physician in a second career as a landscape painter. I seek to bring my interest and passion for healing to my work. As an avid hiker, backpacker and wilderness seeker, I am inspired by beautiful landscapes, particularly those of the Pacific Northwest. In these spaces, light conveys countless moods as it intersects with water, soil, and sky. These are my favorite subjects. With many of my pieces, I use a combination of plein air techniques and photographic references. This allows me to capture the feeling of the moment I spent in a physical space while imagining and interpreting. In many of my pieces, I prepare my own boards with gesso and pastel ground to create texture. Then I apply an acrylic under-painting and a pastel over-painting. This allows me to concentrate on broad value changes and while incorporating the serendipity of water based media.
