The Around VA Series captures the quiet charm of everyday life in Virginia’s countryside — open pastures, golden-hour skies, and the calm presence of grazing horses.

Painted in layered tones of green and blue with warm highlights that hint at late-day light, these scenes are inspired by drives through the Shenandoah Valley and the rural backroads near Chilly Hollow. Each painting reflects the stillness and familiarity of home — moments where nature, rhythm, and routine meet beauty.

Through simplified form and luminous color, the Around VA Series celebrates the timeless landscapes that define this region — and the simple peace found just off the road.
Through bold color, graphic linework, and simplified form, the Sky Meadows Series transforms an ordinary hike into a meditation on rhythm, stillness, and connection to place — a love letter to Virginia’s landscape and the quiet magic found outdoors.

The Sky Meadows Series continues my exploration of rhythm and stillness in nature — a study in color, memory, and the feeling of being momentarily unhurried.
