This series is rooted in observation and a visceral response to the world’s aliveness. These are imagined places, shaped not by geography but by the saturated impression of moments fully seen and felt. Inspired by time in France and the wild beauty of Northern California, each painting celebrates the sensual experience of landscape—color, movement, light, and form distilled through a painterly lens.

Bright Wilderness is untamed and luminous, an open field where exuberance meets structure. These works honor what’s fleeting and vivid—the wildness that persists, even amid uncertainty. There’s a tension here: between intensity and restraint, vibrancy and quiet, the impulse to let loose and the instinct to hold form. In that balance, I find a way to stay present.
