Plein Air
“in the open air”
Painting outdoors is my favorite way to work. Amidst shifting weather, curious onlookers, and time constraints, I try to stay decisive in my choices as I respond to it all. In this process, each piece becomes a mix of honesty to the moment and my personal storytelling. Some pieces are completed as quick studies, while others are developed over multiple sessions.
