Landscapes on view at Joeb Moore and Partners, 20 Bruce Park Ave, Greenwich CT

Nov 5th- Nov 19th , 2026

Landscapes brings together twenty-five oil paintings made between 2024 and 2026. These are places I’ve been to, and remember. Places I’ve imaged from sights seen. I make a drawing if I am prepared to do so, otherwise I observe quietly for some time. Eventually I return to the studio and complete a small study to capture quickly what I remember. I’ll paint it again knowing how to improve the image to resemble my memory better.

The ‘in my mind’ images are made from memories of places I’ve been to, though they are not as recent or fresh. In these I allow my imagination to fill in the gaps, to be taken by a surreal wave of inspiration, until I see that I’ve been brought back to somewhere I’ve been before. They are a physical manifestation of a daydream.

Memory is something I’ve navigated through pictures. 11 years of icloud storage, I have some 40k photos. It is an unmanageable mass. Many are of landscapes- it is nice to have them to look back on later, to show people what I saw, advise them on places they must see. Though I’m often unsatisfied, as the photos themselves pale in comparison to what I saw.

As much as I’d like to, I cannot paint every beautiful sight I’ve seen. I have to be selective for what gets to the canvas. Memory too is selective, we don’t get to keep everything. I see a natural harmony in this, that the documentation icloud is in conflict with. I try to keep closest to me those moments that stand out, close my eyes and see them again. Like the once in a lifetime pink cloud that silently demanded attention, or the moon shining on a reservoir in rockies on the 4th of July. With focus, I can access a salient moment, where I feel the largeness of the world.

I am grateful to show this work at Joeb Moore + Partners in Greenwich. To hang these paintings in a studio devoted to building is a generous gesture, and a fitting one. Joeb and I share a love of the natural world, approached from two directions. His architecture is shaped by the ecotone: the edge where two environments meet, like the line where a meadow becomes woodland or the shore becomes water. His firm's work centers on the relationship between landscape, architecture, and art, and his houses are designed to sit within their sites rather than apart from them. My paintings return again and again to those same edges: the horizon, the shoreline, the ridge against the sky.

Giving Back

A portion of every sale from this show will go to the Trust for Public Land. These paintings exist because I have been lucky enough to stand at the edge of a lake, a river or a mountain range and take it in. That access is not something everyone shares, and I want the work to help widen it. About the Trust for Public Land The Trust for Public Land is a national nonprofit that works to connect everyone to the benefits and joys of the outdoors. Since 1972, it has protected more than 4 million acres of public land and created more than 5,364 parks, trails, schoolyards and outdoor places. Nearly 9.4 million people now live within a 10-minute walk of green space the Trust helped create. The Trust helps communities raise money for conservation, buys and protects land, and designs parks, gardens and playgrounds alongside the neighbors who will use them. One program turns paved school grounds into green schoolyards that open to the whole neighborhood after hours and on weekends.
