ARTIST STATEMENT
"This collection features plein air studies created during my artist residency in the Canary Islands. Immersed in an unfamiliar landscape, each warm day blended into the next as I explored the unique terrain through painting, watching the sun glide over a craggy, undulating land dotted with palm trees and cacti."
