Artist Statement:

My paintings reflect the fleeting atmospheric conditions as the sun rises or as it sets in the West. I am captivated by the few seconds when the sky becomes full of infinite color and energy. I believe that the sky is an impermanent, universal landscape, which I find extremely appealing. In my work, I am passionate about creating these passing moments in a more lasting and emotional manner.

The sky is ever-changing and never duplicated. The feeling of insignificance is overwhelming when observing the sky. The atmosphere has the power to evoke a full spectrum of true emotion, which I find fascinating. It is for these reasons that I am obsessed with exploring the emotional aspects of sky and atmosphere.
