Landscape images are important to me in the way that seeing the representation of a place outside my body stirs my feelings on the inside. In the past few years, I have assigned value to these images based on the emotions felt rather than to articulating any certain place. I pour over the photographs I’ve collected from where I’ve lived, I go through my old plein air work or observational on-site paintings, and I conjure the images of places that have mattered to me. These memories of concepts like where I grew up or where something life-changing happened to me are the most important - I draw on them to convey a meaning and a mood.
