My art immerses the viewer in enchanted landscapes with mythological, divine, and folkloric figures. I reinterpret ancient or arcane imagery into modern natural landscapes to create magical space. It is whimsical, thoughtful and mystical in equal measure, melding my life-long interest in mythology, art history, and legend with a love of nature and its transformative potential.

The landscape imagery in my work comes from my personal experiences in nature. I use thousands of photos I’ve collected over years of traveling as inspiration, along with maps, LiDAR and satellite images, and historic documents and drawings. I meld these influences with my memory and imagination, to create works that reflect my transcendent experience in nature.

The feminine archetypes and icons that I often weave into the landscapes suggest the sacredness of these ancient spaces, summoning ancient spirits and mysteries and creating fantastical scenery. I hold the tenacity and power of nature in awe. In this work I pay tribute to and channel its sublime and transcendental power.
