I am fascinated by the interaction of architecture with the natural environment. I use my training in Architecture and Landscape Architecture to explore this connection in my profession as well as my paintings.
I spent my childhood in rural northwest Ohio which gave me a deep respect for picturesque barns and farms found throughout the state, but I am also intrigued by urban and even industrial locations and the edges and transitions between these types of environments.
Most of my work is completed ‘en plein air’ which creates the additional challenges and excitement of quickly changing light, weather, and varied physical environments.
Based in Columbus, Ohio, I am a member of Central Ohio Plein Air and Vice-president of the Ohio Plein Air Society.
