"Big Cheese" (2025)

acrylic & oils on stretched canvas
24 x 24 inches

Inspiration from iconic toys, cartoons and traditional 'plein air' paintings all serve as the catalyst for the artwork. Incorporating pop culture, early childhood memories and a sincere reverence for nature, combine to evoke images which convey whimsey, beauty and nostalgia. Sculptures are created with an honest simplicity that are portrayed as painted focal points and then carefully staged within academically painted landscapes. This artistic combination brings these unusual contemporary landscapes to fruition and invites you to further explore these impossible realities.
