Wisconsin Paintings

These paintings are an intersection of figuration and color that evoke a strong sensation – driving an instinctual interpretation of moments of changes in weather, time of day, and season. The paintings are not a literal transcription or documentation of the land, water, and sky around me; plein air painting and transcription are not part of my work. The paintings are made in the studio without direct reference to imagery, but through a sense of knowing a place.
