“I want the experience of my paintings to be much like walking in the woods. Surrounded by afabric of green, an excess of detail, the labor of making the painting stands as a devotionalhomage to the complexity and slow growth of the forest. The painting space both slows youdown to a single greenspace and holds you within many particular and singular snapshots intime.

I hope to image the woods in its current state, as it exists now, near me. We have preciousresources in both humble scrub brush or elegant old growth forests, all worth documenting asthey are seen in our moment.”
