My practice is centered on painting the sky and the ocean. I am so captivated by these two things. I like how they can resemble one another. And even when they don’t and there is a clear distinction, the horizon line can sometimes make it hard to tell where one ends and the other begins. I could spend a lifetime painting the clouds and the sea.

I sometimes include other aspects in the works - such as people or cars. It can ground the work, but the focus is always on the sky or the water… The backgrounds. Even when there are people in the work, I spend most of the time working on the natural world elements.

An underlying theme in my work is memory. I explore how memory is fragmented. When I recall something it is not a clear picture. I’ll focus on details, and so these will be brought back to me, and my memory will fill in the larger picture. I like to show this in my work in subtle ways. I’ll blur people or sections, have vague elements, or abstracted edges that become more detailed as you approach the centre.
