Mixed Media Painting

Fine Art, Mixed Media

The mountains are a recurring theme in my contemporary landscapes. I spent my adult life in the mountains of Western North Carolina, and my growing up years in the mountains of Norway.

The textured surfaces in my paintings are created by combining a collage of embossed papers and layering of acrylic paint. The scale of my work varies from small miniatures to large multi-panel compositions. I also welcome the opportunity to make site-specific work.

I often take inspiration from specific locations, using my photos as reference point, but it is the emotional experience that I strive to express in my paintings.
