I feel fortunate to have been born and raised in Colorado, sharing a backyard with one of the world’s natural wonders: the Rocky Mountains. Growing up surrounded by towering peaks, serene forests, and vibrant wildlife, I was inspired from a young age to capture the beauty of my environment. Whether it was sketching wildflowers, photographing alpine vistas, or simply observing the way sunlight dances through the trees, nature became my sanctuary.

My artistic journey began with a simple goal: to share the peace and wonder I feel in nature with others. Over the years, this passion has evolved into a deeper appreciation for the small, often overlooked details of the world around us—like the intricate patterns of a leaf or the quiet elegance of a morning fog rolling over the mountains. My work is an ongoing exploration of celebrating these magical moments.

I’ve been honored to have my art displayed in spaces that share my appreciation for creativity and community, including French Press Café, Morningstar Senior Living, and now Artworks at Southglenn. Each of these milestones has reinforced my belief in the power of art to connect people, evoke emotion, and encourage mindfulness.

When I’m not creating, you can often find me hiking the trails, observing wildlife, or simply soaking in the beauty of a quiet meadow. These moments continue to fuel my creativity and remind me of the joy that comes from living in appreciation of our ever-changing  natural world.

As I look ahead, I’m excited to continue exploring new techniques, sharing my adventures, and creating work that invites others to see the world through new eyes. Whether it's a small hummingbird or an awe-inspiring scene  I hope my art can spark a sense of wonder and connection to the places that have inspired me for so long.
