Industrial Landscapes

Factories with billowing smoke have always fascinated me. Symbolically, they represent our ability to alter natural landscapes while consuming raw materials, in my work, they represent manmade pollution.  
​

 Industrial landscapes provide an opportunity to edit architecture with atmosphere while creating images that look familiar but are total fantasy. Using gold and copper leaf between layers of transparent oil paint creates an optic not achievable with direct painting--my goal is to sensitize the viewer into acknowledging the good and bad side of industry --to consider how modern consumption patterns have a direct effect on the natural world.
