In my winter paintings, I capture a duality, positioning the viewer on the porch among the elements, looking through windows at events unfolding in interior spaces. The car paintings explore this space as both vessel and sanctuary, transporting us into expansive landscapes while preserving private, contained spaces. It is a uniquely American motif as well. These paintings merge the landscape and the intimacy of windows through the framing of the car, bridging the two realms I've typically explored separately. The car becomes a meditation on transition, on existing simultaneously here and elsewhere. These paintings capture essential tensions: departure and return, risk and safety, what we owe to place versus what we desire, all while waiting for something larger to unfold.
