En plein air, French for “in the open air,” is the practice of painting outdoors, directly immersed in the landscape. Each brushstroke responds to shifting light, fleeting color, and the living atmosphere, capturing a moment that can never be repeated. Popularized by the Impressionists, this method infuses every work with the immediacy and authenticity of being created in nature itself.
Capturing a Moment in Time
My plein air paintings are extremely unique as they change per the mood of the day, the energy of the air, and the spirit of the world around me.
