Aerial Landscapes
My aerial landscape paintings explore the colors and shapes of landscapes and waterways from above. They are based on photographs I’ve taken from airplane windows or maps I use as reference. Many were painted lying flat on a table so that I worked above the canvas as I painted them. While these images relate to a universal travel experience (looking out an airplane window), they also draw attention to water in our environment – something that is abundant but is becoming a much more valuable and scarce commodity around the world. Living near Lake Michigan and in the Great Lakes region highlights water’s impact on our day-to-day lives – and it’s something that we often take for granted but cannot do without.
