“Vermont' moves like memory, layered with silence, light, and the echoes of untold stories.”
Vermont (2024) is a painting of autumn air — a memory re-colored through emotion, season, and slowness. This 72 x 60 inch acrylic work from the Black and White Collection draws on a trip through the hills of Vermont, where leaves blazed and quiet lived between trees.
Soft rusts, warm ochres, and dusty oranges drift across a pale blue-gray ground, layered like mist and breeze. Loose brushwork flows horizontally, with delicate streaks falling like leaves. The painting feels both expansive and intimate — a landscape not shown, but felt from within.
I painted Vermont weeks after returning home. I didn’t work from photos. I worked from breath — from the way walking those roads stayed with me in muscle and mood. It’s not a place. It’s the memory of noticing.
This painting recalls Wolf Kahn’s pastoral chroma and the spatial light of Joan Mitchell’s abstracted forests. But mine remains softer — grounded in the quiet, not the wild.
Vermont is a painting of slowing down. Of paying attention. Of letting something small change you.
