About the artist
I mostly work outside. Working in extreme heat, cold, wind or rain – and chasing the ever-changing light – can be challenging. But I hope my paintings let people share my love of beautiful natural places. And when a painting is successful the spirit of the place shines through.

I use the “encaustic” method in my painting. In the studio, I mix oil paint with a wax medium and trowel the mixture onto panels, which are then heated. After these “wax tablets” are cured, they are ready to be taken outside. I paint on them using brushes, knives, sticks and sometimes my fingers.
