"The surf lesson"
My landscapes feature a prominent foreground element, creating a voyeuristic sense that is designed to place the viewer close to the frame, “witnessing” the scene as an onlooker. My purpose is to draw the viewer in, and to feature the sensory experience as a means of attaining visual immersion in the painting and participating in a moment in time that is complete within itself, at a stasis in the frame, yet clearly in the process of fluid motion.
