There is something irreplaceable about a thick, deliberate stroke of bright color — the way paint builds up on the panel, catches the light, and becomes something you want to touch. I paint to capture the vibrant energy of landscapes that have shaped me: the wide skies of the high plains where I grew up, and the Colorado Rockies I see from my door every morning.

By training I am a clinical microbiologist, and for more than twenty years I have taught paper crafting as a creative outlet. Now painting has become essential to how I understand and move through the world.  The challenges of the process — composition, color, the physical act of building texture —every stage feels like its own discovery. As a community-taught artist who came to the easel only seven years ago, I bring curiosity and a deep gratitude for what nature offers freely to anyone willing to look.

My work is made for adventurous people who want to surround themselves with energetic, colorful reminders of nature’s ever-changing beauty — and who find in those images an invitation to keep exploring, both outward and within.
