Jeff Epstein

Artist’s Statement

My paintings explore where the natural and made landscapes overlap. Although the spaces are unpeopled, there is usually evidence of human activity. Plowed snow speaks to the constant need to respond to natural forces so we can pursue our daily lives while tire marks left on pavement by the noisy, rapid acceleration of vehicles suggest less constructive intentions.
