FANTASTIC WILDERNESS
2011 - 2012
These paintings combine naturalistic and imagined spaces with observed and intensified color to create a fantastic wilderness. Water ripples swirl into abstraction, juicy ferns transition into mossy swamp, and forests drip with rich, saturated color. These works convey the immersive and transportive experience of the being in the wilderness. The paintings are large, about five by six feet, amplifying the magnificence of the outdoors and help convey a sense of awe and amazement. The compositions range from singular and monumental scenes to composite images made up of multiple sources of imagery.
