Each day that I set up my easel outside I am astonished by nature’s beauty and complexity. Attempting to capture the essence of the natural world through paint is challenging, exhilarating, and humbling. Landscape painting continues to help me grow as an artist.

The Hudson River Fellowship was a unique opportunity to connect with, and learn from, incredible artists from around the world. The environment that the HRF creates is the perfect place to be challenged and inspired. My experience helped me to think about painting in new ways, and to gain new skills. I am grateful for my time at the fellowship.
