About the artwork: I love to incorporate complimentary colors into my work. I grew up in the foothills of the Abajo Mountains in San Juan County which is in a constant state of drought. After a rare, large winter one year, wildflowers in every shade of crimson and violet erupted in an otherwise parched landscape. This otherworldly scene was topped off with a peculiar, yellow horizon.
About the artist: There was no shortage of inspiration growing up in the wilds of San Juan County, Utah. The sublime sandstone canyons, rich in iron, hardship, and old ghosts have shaped my artistic sensibilities. Although I occasionally foray into other geographies for subject matter, this high desert is my greatest love.
After receiving a degree in painting and drawing at the University of Utah, my focus is mainly contemporary landscapes, but also still life and figures, which helps to reset my brain. My interpretation of the world around me is not meant to replicate, but to express a vibe or a feeling. My work is biographical, based on nostalgia, storytelling, and remembrance.
