“En plein air, or plein air painting, is the act of painting outdoors. This method contrasts with studio painting or academic rules that might create a predetermined look.”

The subject matter tends to be our close relationship we have with nature – if we are open to it. I love Impressionism and the West Coast style. I advocate for open space and original nation sites that have existed for generations.
