Making an image of something is a deeply fulfilling way of understanding it. This body of work began with the realization that I was constantly passing through scenery - in some cases for most of my life - that I had not interpreted visually. By re-presenting it as a painting, I began to observe and appreciate it more fully: to really see it. Though based on specific places, my painting process abstracts the image, making it open to interpretation and more accessible to the viewer. A personal experience becomes a universal one, so both painter and viewer experience the scene in a new way.
