In partnership with Rex Heart and Vascular, VAE is producing one of our annual exhibits; SCOPE. The purpose of SCOPE: the southern landscape is to exhibit the widest range of “landscape” works possible in and alongside Rex’s Heart and Vascular’s extensive collection of local and regional artists. The South is a hub of creativity and Raleigh has adopted a vision to become the Southern Capital for Arts and Culture. To do our part, VAE and REX will exhibit landscape works by artists across the regional south, or works created in or inspired by the southern landscape.

ARTIST STATEMENT
Windswept mountain ridges. Quiet forest trails. Cliffs overlooking an expansive sea. Big skies
and dramatic vistas. I’m drawn to nature.
Inspiration comes from local venues, as well as, far-flung destinations like Iceland and
Tasmania. While hiking, I fill sketchbooks with pen and watercolor drawings, translating those
images into larger oil paintings in my studio. I think of myself as a plein air artist who also paints
indoors.
My recent landscapes range from impressions to abstraction. They are created with oil and cold
wax - applied, layered, scraped, and marked - creating textured and complex expressions of
nature.
