As a landscape painter I am inspired by living in Oregon, on the edge of the Pacific with its dramatic coastlines and temperate rainforests. I primarily work in encaustic for its luminosity, depth, and texture. The translucent nature of beeswax makes it the ideal medium for capturing the light and atmosphere of the Pacific Northwest.
