The mountains outside my door have never stopped moving me.
I live and paint in Whistler, British Columbia, surrounded by some of the most dramatic alpine landscape on earth. My work begins long before I pick up a brush — it starts on the trail, or at the top of a ski run, or during a quiet moment when the light hits a snowfield in a way that makes me reach for my camera. Every painting I make begins with a photograph I took myself, in a place that stopped me in my tracks.
Back in the studio, I work in oils to translate those moments onto canvas. I'm drawn to the realist tradition because I want the viewer to feel like they've been there — to sense the cold air, the vastness, the particular silence of the high alpine. I layer and blend slowly, letting the paint build until the mountain feels solid and the sky feels infinite.
This is my home. These are the places I hike with my family, explore in winter, and return to again and again with fresh eyes.
