Born and raised in Colorado, I’ve been inspired by the breathtaking landscapes and rich Southwestern art culture. With a BFA in Painting from Metropolitan State University of Denver, I’ve explored various career paths but always return to art to nourish my soul.

Through my sketchbook, oil paintings, watercolor doodles, and fiber works, I attempt to convey an appreciation for the natural world and our place in it. I am especially drawn to landscapes and architecture in the southwest and aim to emulate some of the great artists like Georgia O'Keefe and Erin Hanson. 

Life is filled with passions, hobbies, and creative outlets, but there are only so many hours in the day. Instead of choosing between my love for nature and my love for art, I decided to blend the two. Initially, this was simply a way to make time for both—but what started as a practical solution grew into something deeply meaningful.

Painting while hiking, running, or biking through Colorado’s breathtaking landscapes has completely transformed the way I experience the world. Colors leap out at me in a way they never did before—the soft purples of distant mountains, the warm glow of sunlight on rocky trails, the mesmerizing patterns of rippling water. Slowing down to pull out my sketchbook and paints has become my way of connecting more fully with nature, of savoring moments that might otherwise pass by unnoticed.

Through art, I get to be playful and not take life quite so seriously. I hope you find something that speaks to you and inspires you to pick up your chosen medium and see where it takes you!
