From the Artist:
An unfinished dream is something you can become obsessed with. I create imagery that tells part of a story, like a dream or brief moment in history. I grew up in northern Vermont, surrounded by lush, saturated summer colors and cold, black and white winters. Long winters and a spirited imagination were catalysts for hours of artistic escapism. After studying design at Maine College of Art (MECA) and then animation at Cal Arts in Valencia, CA, movement and perspective became important elements in my work. After graduating in 2001, I settled in Portland, Oregon.
My current artwork is largely inspired by the city’s industrial architecture and strange beauty. I paint landscapes to create an altered reality that is grounded in a recognizable world. Many of my images are based on photographs. I work from photos and exaggerate the imagery in my paintings. I also work largely from imagination to create surreal landscapes.
My grandmother, Dagmar Wilson, was a landscape painter in Loudoun County, Virginia. Being surrounded by her work has influenced my vision, especially my paintings of buildings and cityscapes.
My current works are acrylic and oil paintings on masonite and canvas that can be seen in galleries, art venues and events in Portland, the Northwest, and California.
