Exploring the Unknown: Alien Paradises

My artistic practice focuses on creating exotic alien landscapes, blending imagination and reality into captivating scenes. I use acrylic paints for their versatility and vibrant hues, balancing familiar elements like trees and rocks with the fantastical. Through multiple layers and thick brush strokes, my works evoke a dream-like, impressionistic feel. I thoughtfully choose color palettes using scientific principles to add theoretical realism, enhancing viewers' connection to the environments. Themes of exploration, beauty, and scale drive my creative process, aiming to bridge imagination and reality, and inspiring a deeper appreciation for our world and the endless possibilities beyond.

Closing reception is May 1st from 5 – 7 pm. Reception will be located in JVC Atrium. The work will be featured in the Project Room Located in Beeler Gallery.
