Conditions begin with observation of the shifting landscape, atmosphere, and light. In nature, nothing is still. Everything becomes, recedes, or changes.

Working with oil and cold wax, I watch as the painting's conditions echo that movement. Paint gathers, drags, resists, and settles; marks appear and disappear, and each layer alters what came before.

I move between the recognizable and the abstract, shifting from the larger landscape to fragments where form, color, and movement begin to take over. I am interested in how looking moves through recognition toward something sensed rather than seen.
