Often I find myself creating scenes that are slightly abstracted or atmospheric. My working process starts by painting from free association, applying colors that fit my mood and letting a form grow from the marks I've made. Growing up in the midwest surrounded by farms and fields is something that facilitates the scenery that is found in my work.
