Real & Remembered

This new collection of paintings has come out of a season of learning to trust myself in and out the studio. Impulsive color, decisive marks, & reverence for the landscape close to home — all of my favorite things are here. You’ll find two different segments of work coming together in this collection, including oil on canvas plein air paintings and studio experimentations with flashe paint on yupo paper. I'm fascinated by how they feel so connected — two bodies of work built side by side, but separated by medium and process. They've been in conversation with one another all summer. Shapes found en plein air became distorted versions of themselves in the studio, and the freedom that comes with working from imagination followed me out to the trail. I can’t help but wonder if these boundaries of process—plein air versus studio painting—are fuzzier than I assume.
