"This is our common birthright. The landscape remains the fountainhead of abstraction and symbol making. It endures as the inescapable source of ultimate meaning for our collective humanity." 

- David Cleveland

from "A History of American Tonalism."

My work as a visual artist has mostly expressed itself in my relationship to Nature and the land on which I live. Witnessing the land in all its seasons and its many moods supplies much of the inspiration for my paintings and photographs.

It's important for my landscapes to express not only my emotional connection to the land but to hopefully instill in others the peace and serenity that I experience in Nature–and now more than ever–the urgent necessity for active stewardship of our land and water.

While my photographs are almost exclusively made on or within just a few miles of my homestead, my paintings are more often composites of scenes I've observed, or in many cases, landscapes I would like to wander through.

In addition to landscape photography, I have begun to explore documentary photography as a way to address current issues. I am particularly interested in the "power of the portrait" as a way to call attention to marginalized populations and to combat the growing voices of division and exclusion. Information on recent work can be found under the "Projects" tab.

As always, thank you so much for your interest and support!
