Color fuels me. It sparks my imagination and lets me play with texture and bold strokes to create unique statements. But what truly excites me is the ambiguity of abstraction—the freedom to let each piece reveal itself in its own way.

Through my oil pastels, I capture the energy of nature—big skies, endless oceans—and trust that each painting speaks uniquely to its viewer.

After years as an art director and entrepreneur, I’m lucky to return to my roots and create from a place of support and well-earned time. Inspired by Joseph Turner, my work evolves just as nature does—always shifting, always new.

And yes, I’m a proud Colorado native—mountains, sunshine, and boundless inspiration!
