2022 - present
Somewhere between tall tales and true stories, these recent paintings explore real places, based on drawings in my sketchbooks or sometimes from photographs. They are then reimagined in the studio as night scenes lit from some mysterious source in the foreground, as if by the gaze of the viewer. The light transforms the landscape into a kind of stage set, still and silent before the drama unfolds.
