Come with me on a journey through neo-abstract expressionism as well as contemporary impressionism, in oil or acrylic on canvas, with a strong focus toward light, depth, and a touch of mystery.
The inspiration derived from continuous travels and an insatiable curiosity, focusing on landscapes, shadows, horizons and mood. A never-ending quest for knowledge of history and nature is expressed in layers of paint and emotion, running the gambit of joy, peace and drama. My influences have been the glow of Turner, the drama of Kiefer, the solitude of O'Keefe and the boldness of Rothko.
I have been painting under the pseudonym, NORTHWOOD, for fifteen years, NORTHWOOD is a derivation of my family name, Nordholt. As an owner of an interior design firm, Interiors, Inc., for twenty years, specializing in both commercial and residential projects, I feel art should speak first, letting the surrounding compliment the art, with rhythm and flow.
I have studied informally with Megan Ueberroth and Michael Teague. The continuing exploration of studies as well as instinct and passion are the significant components in the evolution of the canvasses.
