Somewhere Worth Landing 

​

From 30,000 feet, the middle of the country looks like nothing much. A patchwork of fields, a flat horizon, water that stretches without a landmark to anchor it. Easy to fly over. Easy to forget. But get closer, or simply stop and look, and something shifts. The light falls differently here. The scale of it settles into you. There's more going on than the window suggested.

​

This collection is an argument for the overlooked. The flyover states, the open water, the wide stretches of land that don't make it onto anyone's bucket list but hold a quiet grandeur all the same. Painted large, these landscapes demand the kind of attention we rarely give to places we assume we already understand. Up close, the texture and color of a Kansas wheat field or an unremarkable stretch of Pacific can be just as arresting as anything more celebrated.
