Reflections of an Evolving Relationship to Land

my landscape paintings exist in a space between memory and presence. They are not fixed representations of place, but evolving reflections on how landscapes are experienced, remembered, and understood. Grounded in both personal experience and broader historical awareness, this work seeks to hold the complexity of our relationships to land. I aim to capture the affect of a place, how it is felt and remembered rather than just seen.
