Iris

The Shimmering collection is about memory, and the way time softens it. Sun spots burned into your eyes, asphalt paths almost melting in the heat, and the strange way a place that once felt ordinary becomes, in recollection, the happiest time you've ever known.

My work is rooted in the legacy of Impressionism and Fauvism. I'm not interested in depicting a landscape faithfully - I want to capture a feeling. Texture and brushwork carry a lot of that meaning for me: they let you trace the movement of thought, the moment the hand followed the mind.
