Title: So Many Changes

Oil on canvas, 30" X 36"

I wanted to capture how light hits the leaves, while simultaneously leaning into the idea of an image built from pixels. By marrying precise, pixelated brushstrokes with loose, expressive marks, the painting unites two distinct visual languages in

San Luis Obispo

I have long been captivated by the undulating hills encountered along the drive to San Luis Obispo. One such journey prompted this work, shaped by the rhythmic rise and fall of the landscape as it unfolds through motion.
