New Day. New Painting.

Wherever I am, I see paintings. My approach is observational, a way of being in my body and in the landscape. It is not only about what I see, but also how it feels, and how I move within it. New Day. New Painting. explores my day-to-day life and the landscapes that have surrounded me as a graduate student. The exhibition is organized into four groups: my home, the campus, my research trip to Charleston, South Carolina, and the walk to my car—an experience that was interrupted when a stand of trees that seemed almost familial were unexpectedly cut down.
