Standing Still: An Oak of Van Cortlandt Park

As the day wanes into a soft dusk, the oak tree in Van Cortlandt Park becomes not just a part of the landscape but a storyteller of the earth’s silent sonatas. This small 6×6 oil painting is my attempt to capture that narrative, to hold onto a moment of natural simplicity amidst the city’s ceaseless…

Buckham Park Barn

I left this painting in England in 2010 after completing my master’s degree. It was part of a show that I put on called “Landscape Resounds.” I left it at a local cafe in Totnes, the Fat Lemon, where it hung until they contacted me last year saying they didn’t have space for it anymore.…

The Audio for the Landscape Resounds Paintings

Including the sound with the paintings was new for me. If landscape painting traditionally places the ‘subject’ as the audience or the painter, I think the sounds helped to create ‘subjects’ in the paintings… “Resounding Landscapes” Click the images to enlarge.

The Sitting Cows

This oil painting on canvas measures 2′ x 2′ When I first arrived in Dartington, I was told that the cows sit down when it is going to rain. I was unable to directly prove this during my time here, but it seems possible. It brings up interesting questions about the sensory perception of animals.…
Buckham’s Park Barn

This oil painting measure 4 feet square. I discovered Buckham’s Park Barn on the Dartington Estate during my walks. It is a late 18th century ruin of what I assume was an agricultural building. The ruin has been surrounded with a portable metal fence since I’ve first come across it. This was the first larger…
