The Hermitage Series is an exploration of memories of my beloved childhood home where I grew up on Hermitage Road here in Ann Arbor. 

The paintings feature indistinct forms and gestural lines incorporated with textural collage and a subdued color palette to create a dreamlike feeling – a blurry memory just out of reach – they’re ethereal, atmospheric, and wholly imperfect. They’re about the sweetness of nostalgia mixed with the sadness of loss – a unique blend of place, time, and people that can never be recreated.

Up close, you see textures, lines, colors. Far away, you may just be able to imagine the crude form of a house nestled in the landscape.

This piece makes me incredibly happy. The primitive line quality, the soft, cool color palette, and the openness of the piece all add up to something oddly comforting and calming to me.
