For centuries, poets, musicians, and artists alike, have captured the beauty of the natural world around us. As a landscape artist, Jared looks for ways to move beyond the static moment. He strives to show nature's movement and transcendent qualities. Nature moves with the wind, is pushed and pulled by gravity, it decays and is even reborn. Through his art, Jared strives to place the laws of nature on display. He wants his paintings to show the scenes before us while also revealing the very movement and essence of the cosmos within and all around us. His chosen mediums are soft pastel and oil paint. As a modern impressionist, he favors strong, bold marks and angular strokes with a palette knife.
