I was truly honored to have worked with May Barruel a Portland art curator. I learned a lot from her about installing my art, and editing down pieces so that the show was viewed cohesively. She encouraged me to make new paintings for the show. So in the months preparing for the show I created Strawberry Mountains, Exploring the Blue of Distance, and Underneath the Trees. When all of my current and older paintings where installed at Stumptown I was able to see the space transformed.
The abstracted landscape paintings give the space that feeling I get during my hikes. My bold palette and thick brushy strokes gave the room a liveliness. I hope that my viewers are brought to new and unexpected realms of imagination.
