I consider myself to be a fair-weather plein air (outdoor) painter. I am a Seattle-based oil painter and love capturing places around Washington State, whether that’s on site (with acceptable weather and hot coffee) or in the comfort of my unfinished basement studio.

My paintings often begin with places and subjects I have a personal connection to—my yard, Carkeek Park, or a view discovered on a hike with my loyal companion—and focus less on photographic accuracy than on capturing the feeling and memory of a scene.

The paintings on display at Lighthouse Roasters follow Seattle through its four seasons—from the first signs of spring to the long days of summer, the changing colors of fall, and the quieter light of winter. I invite you to experience the collection as a journey through a year in the Pacific Northwest.
