🌿 Nature is wonderful and mystical, but fleeting in this mechanical and digital age. So I paint to appreciate nature, and as a refuge from my high tech day job.
🎨 My style is bold and painterly. I strive for the illusion of detail, je ne se qua, elements of the unknown, and leaving room for imagination.
☯️ The philosophy of art is as important as the art itself. I like pondering the why behind art and the process.
✨ I am particularly interested in the idea of Mana or the energy that permeates nature. Sometimes, I can capture this in a painting. Other times, the painting is just a reminder.
⛰️ My preferred method is painting en plein air (painting outside). Magic the Gathering cards are also a big source of inspiration. And related to Mana.
🙌 My influences are my father Steve Guerra, Turner Vinson, Antonin Passemard, Ulrich Gleiter, Robert Burridge, Stuart Davies, Hester Berry, Jose Trujillo, Chris Long, Harry Stooshinoff, William Hawkins, Tiffanie Mang, and Tara Will.
