My artwork is focused on the study of nature in urban settings.

I am interested in better understanding how the human experience of an urban park is affected by witnessing changing natural processes. Painting for long hours in park “urban wilderness” settings in cities around the world provides the means to stay on site for longer periods of time for analysis and observation beyond a brief site walk. Painting provides a complimentary data-collection counterpart to digital mappings of landscapes and is a tactic for recording temporal change which is traditionally considered difficult to depict in plan.

All work is painted life-size and drawn and painted as seen from a sitting position in the landscape– whether a small flower or large branches.
