Passion of Fall
Passion of Fall’ was inspired by a day spent exploring the banks of Kolob Reservoir in southern Utah, just outside Zion National Park.

Aspen Grove
The painting “Aspen Grove” was inspired by an early morning drive to Kolob Reservoir, capturing the transition from fall to winter. With all the leaves fallen from the Aspen trees, their stark silhouettes beautifully contrasted against the soft morning Sky. I spent the morning hiking and photographing the trees along the reservoir's edge, reflecting on how to convey the emotions I felt and capture the stunning beauty of the scene on canvas.
This painting depicts a serene arrangement of Aspen trees along the bank of Kolob Reservoir in Southern Utah, just outside of Zion National Park. Set in the early morning of late fall, just after the leaves have fallen, the artwork evokes a sense of calm as winter approaches. “Aspen Grove” is brought to life with vibrant hues of cool blues, lush greens, soft pinks, warm oranges, and rich browns. This piece was created in October 2024, capturing the tranquil beauty of the changing seasons.

Expressions of Fall
The painting “Expressions of Fall” vibrantly captures an autumnal scene. A group of aspen trees, their leaves ablaze in warm oranges, reds, and yellows, lines the shore of a rough body of water. The reflections of the trees are distorted in the water, creating a visually captivating composition. I utilize thick, bold brushstrokes that give texture and a sense of movement to the water and the trees. The sky is a lighter, completive color palette, contrasting with the rich fall foliage, making the colors of the trees pop even further. The overall effect speaks to the passion and beauty of autumn. I painted “Fall Expressions” in the fall of 2024.

Calm Reflections
I painted “Calm Reflections” In the summer of 2024. It depicts a serene lakeside scene with mountains in the background. The foreground features a calm lake, reflecting the dark, almost vertical silhouettes of trees along the shore and swirling reflections of mountains. The water's surface is textured with a variety of blues and purples, suggesting depth and subtle movement. The background is dominated by the Grand Teton Mountain Range, their peaks rendered in shades of blue and purple with hints of warmer tones suggesting sunlight and shadow. The mountains appear imposing but peaceful, contrasting with the tranquil lake in the foreground. The overall style uses visible brushstrokes contributing to a textured and expressive effect. I used a mostly cool color palette, with a limited number of warmer accents which helps create a sense of stillness and remoteness.

Glowing Mesa
“Glowing Mesa” was inspired by an afternoon walk in Virgin Utah. As the sun was going down, one of the mesas of the surrounding landscape caught the fading light just right. It inspired me to go home and recreate the scene on canvas. I wanted to capture the light radiating across the valley and striking the mesa, making it glow.

Solitude
“Solitude” was inspired by a Bristlecone Pine tree that grew alongside the canyon of Bryce Canyon National Park. I was inspired by the resilience and timelessness of the tree. When I set out to paint it I wanted to imply endless time going by with the clouds moving across the sky, in comparison to the stillness of the tree.
