About the artwork: Perched atop of a rocky outcrop in Oregon, this glorious mound of orange and yellow flowers produced flashbacks of a lush Hawaiian landscape of turquoise seas and exotic orange flowers. Although I will never tire of the Utah desert landscape, sometimes its nice to escape to more tropical/verdant hues.
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.
