I grew up in the shadow of Mt. Hood in Oregon. It is a fond immovable fixture in the backdrop of my childhood and an image I have come to cling to in an effort to combat personal grief and resuscitate memories of my parents and upbringing. My work explores this personal connection to the Pacific Northwest peaks and landscape and uses it as a symbol of nostalgia, fear, and the reverence I hold for it. My paintings unfold somewhat intuitively; They begin with a specific collaged composition but will allow media and palette to dictate their final outcome. I often strip the landscape of some obvious characteristics leaving behind both familiar terrain and invented space. I deploy strong swaths of black with a contrast of colorful neons in an effort to convey a tension that mirrors both my admiration and anxiety for the locations I pull inspiration from.
