The artist's approach to painting is generally characterized as Tonalism, a lesser-known art movement that emphasizes color, line, and shape to communicate visual harmony and spirituality. By carefully selecting a palette of closely related colors, Tonalists aim to evoke emotion and suggest cosmic harmonies in their landscapes. The artist seeks to convey a sense of calmness and serenity in their work, drawing inspiration from everyday atmospheric conditions such as sunrises, sunsets, and misty rain.
Having developed a love for art at an early age, the artist spent their childhood exploring nature in rural and suburban settings in South Carolina and North Carolina. After studying graphic design in college and working in corporate America for nearly 30 years, they felt a strong desire to return to their true passion of painting and creating images. Influenced by artists such as Mark Rothko, Georgia O'Keeffe, and John Henry Twachtman, the artist strives to capture the beauty and emotion of the world around them.
Using high-quality materials for their originals and giclees, the artist ensures that their work meets the highest standards of excellence. Drawing inspiration from quotes by Marc Chagall, the artist believes in creating art from the heart to evoke emotion and connection with the viewer. Recognizing the importance of color and form in their work, the artist aims to create harmonious and vibrant compositions that resonate with the observer.
In a world filled with chaos and noise, the artist's paintings offer a moment of tranquility and reflection. Whether displayed in a home or office, their prints invite viewers to pause, contemplate, and find peace in the beauty of the natural world. Embrace the serenity and harmony of Tonalism in your space by purchasing prints of the artist's work for your home or office decor.
