About the Artist

---

As an artist and Earth and space scientist, I want my art to impact   my community by inspiring environmental awareness to the Pacific Northwest,   bringing people together and encouraging more art and science. The Pacific   Northwest is a wonderfully diverse region, from ocean beaches to mountain   tops. My paintings encompass the color, beauty and significance of the Pacific   Northwest creating a new way for the viewer to experience the landscape. 

My artist style is contemporary   impressionism. I use loose expressive brush strokes, a visible colored   underpainting, and a fascination with the play of light to create landscape   paintings. The paintings are mixed media, with a visible acrylic underpainting   overlaid with oil paint. 

My art has the power to tell a community shared story of the Pacific   Northwest, create environmental awareness, and bring people together.
