Solo show of landscape works. In my acrylic paintings, I embrace the medium’s quick-drying nature to capture moments swiftly. Through vibrant hues, I amplify colors, aiming to evoke a sense of vitality. My art delves into the profound connection between myself and the Ozarks, my lifelong home. Reflecting on the landscape’s grandeur, I confront my place within it, acknowledging my insignificance and integral role in its ecosystem. Just as the land continually evolves and renews itself, so too do I, paralleling its endless cycles of growth and transformation in my own life’s journey.
