Many of my paintings have rolling hills. Where I live, in the Virginian Piedmont, mountains are so old that they look more like hills, and only in the backdrop you get to see the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Rolling hills

There is a beautiful dialogue called "Icaromenippus, an Aerial Expedition" by the poet Lucian in which the narrator is given the ability to fly and sees the world from above. Turning his eyes earthward, he sees how comically small even the richest people, the biggest estates, and entire empires look from above. All their battles and concerns were made petty in perspective.
In ancient times, this exercise was only theoretical--the highest anyone could get was the top of a mountain or a building a few stories tall. But as technology has progressed, humans have been able to actually take that bird's-eye view--and greater.

Earthward

Most people travel to Uruguay for its gorgeous and tranquil beaches. Few people know about the rolling hills that fill the countryside. These are landscapes with rounded hills and low old mountains that are ~500-600 million years old. Sheep, cows, goats, llamas, ostriches, armadillos, donkeys and horses stroll the land. Vineyards and olive groves adorn the long, long views. The scent of native flowers and mellow sound of streams and ponds provide a place for appreciation and contemplation.

A collection that celebrates kindness, being thankful for what we've got, appreciating all those little details that make life worth living,

Sharing

This series is about living by the sea and walking on the beach. It captures islands, stormy days, old parts of town, and pure enjoyment with each wave.

By the sea

This is a series of portraits depicting the best of how we show up, as well as seasons and other creatures.

Portraits

Underland is a series of drawings and paintings focused on what lies underneath our feet and within the earth.  Burrowing creatures make their dwellings and make it a resting place.  In the Underland, unique forms of life exist in a rhythm we do not accompany or even notice.  I imagine this Underland as a rich and unseen world where even rocks tell the story of the animals and plants that once lived there. A world with the warmth of the earth and the scent of the untouched.  A mysterious and deep world that resembles our inner lives and unexplored memories.
