"The intricacy of color and organic form found in nature's most private and hidden spaces intrigues me. Exploring the terrain of public lands in the American Southwest, I have grown fascinated with the landscapes of the mostly untouched, desert environment. The subject matter of my work varies from plant life, to geological forms, to panoramic views. Using sophisticated and exaggerated color schemes allows me to reflect a modern take of each region’s unique character, culture and visual aesthetic. My background in graphic design has influenced my style, which lies somewhere between impressionistic and graphically illustrative.”

“I paint with an intention to spread awareness of these beautiful places, and share the joy of the human-nature connection."
