The James Ackley McBride Landscape Award (Best Landscape)
As individuals, we each have our own perspective of the world around us. The lens through which we observe our daily experiences varies depending on our interests, education, and exposure to the world. While I paint a variety of subjects, my work is rooted in my love of art history and my traditional training as an artist. Nature provides an inspiration for my work. Although my work is representational, I choose to create a contemporary composition. “Verdant Web� is part of a series of botanicals. It does not represent a particular place, but rather a collection of plants and flowers chosen based on the composition. My close attention to details and surface qualities demonstrates my desire to remain committed to my traditional approach to painting, as well as my desire to create a work that can be appreciated by viewers today.
