My work revolves largely around the human figure and how it interacts with nature. The rate at which the planet is changing and degrading impacts everyone, and I find myself drawn to the idea of depicting images that will inspire others to love the natural world, or expose what our home could look like in a short amount of time without proper care given to the planet. In a nod to classical realism, my work consists mostly of narrative oil paintings and drawings. Using oil paint allows me to explore the light play that happens when figures are in a setting, especially through transparent glazes. My work explores a range of dimensions, with most paintings averaging around either a small size, such as 8×10 inches, or mid-scale, at about 30×40 inches.
