My paintings begin as inquiries into the restless nature of land, observing how weather shifts across horizons, how structures and features dissolve into time, and how place holds memory. They do not replicate what is seen but distill what is felt, capturing fleeting impressions and the quiet dramas of geological and ecological change. Built through accumulation, revision, and restraint, my layered compositions operate between abstraction and representation and examine the tension between permanence and impermanence, constructing spaces for sustained reflection on fragility, resilience, and belonging.

Geometry provides a stabilizing framework and functions as a universal visual language within my work. Architectural forms and structured surfaces anchor shifting fields of color and atmosphere, allowing land, air, and weather to interact in subtle tension. Within this balance of structure and openness, the restless land emerges not as a fixed reality but as an evolving inquiry. What endures as time reshapes the familiar? What dissolves under the pressure of change? What becomes visible in moments of transition? These questions extend beyond aesthetics into ecology. Land is never neutral. It bears the marks of cultivation and extraction, resilience and loss. Each horizon carries evidence of human presence and environmental vulnerability, inscribed not only in soil and structure but also in the atmosphere itself, in wind patterns, storm systems, and the pressures of heat and time embedded in shifting strata and altered terrain.

To paint landscape is to engage directly with these forces and to consider how we inhabit land and sky. Weather and climate shape perception just as architecture and terrain shape experience, and human decisions reverberate through interconnected ecosystems. Each painting functions as a site of sustained attention, asserting slowness and duration as a counterpoint to a culture defined by speed and immediacy. The work transforms restless land into a space for thinking and feeling, offering a deliberate pause and an opportunity to imagine continuity.

Through sustained looking, these paintings transform perception into awareness and awareness into empathy. They are not conclusions but propositions. The works invite viewers to linger in ambiguity, to question assumptions, and to consider what it means to belong to land, to air, to memory, and to a shared future shaped by interdependence.
