My landscapes are images that speak to a sense of place, a vague memory of being there. Encoding is the crucial first step to creating a new memory. It allows the perceived item of interest to be converted into a construct that can be stored in the brain. My paintings seek to make time visible. Whether driving by in a car or moving in other forms of transportation, we pay attention to our environment in momentary glimpses. If a memory was laid down then these “sights” remain in our subconscious having been converted into a construct. My works are a still snapshot of moments that I develop on the surface of the panel. I use sketches and photographs to inspire my work but the paintings develop through a process which is largely organic.
