Work Description: 
Artist Statement: When I was 19, I found my neighbor's body in his front lawn after he committed suicide. After passing that landscape for years, I began viewing it differently. Landscapes have become for me places that hold pain, anguish, and blood in spite of their outward pastoral appearance. Beauty has a way of being indifferent, and the sun continues to shine. How we construct a narrative around a place defines our relationship of the landscape. // These paintings are my investigation into the relationship between landscape and memory and time's effect on the intensity of experience. As one looks from panel to panel, there is a sense of peering out from the passenger seat as you drive by cornfields and small towns at 60 mph. The repetition begs a reconsideration of place and the hidden histories below the surfaces of seemingly mundane landscapes. There is no climax in these paintings. We pass by the site of a suicide and end up right where we started again.
