Skagit Valley Painter & Plein Air Nomad

I don’t paint because I choose to — I paint because I need to. My work is a response to life itself: to the way I see people navigating relationships, struggles, and choices, and how those human currents echo in the landscapes around us.

Each canvas is born outdoors, painted on location in the rivers, mountains, and forests of the Pacific Northwest. Living nomadically, I carry my work into these places — camping for days at a time, letting weather, light, and silence push their way into the painting.
