"My desire to create art began and a young age. After trying many different mediums, oil paints became my medium of choice. I am inspired by mostly everything in nature, especially wildlife and mountain landscapes.
Living in Colorado and also the east coast over the years has exposed me to different ways of creating art, but living on a ranch in Colorado among the Rockies solidified my interest in nature being my focus.
When I approach a blank canvas, my goal is never to simply document a landscape or animal. Instead, I strive to bring the viewer directly into the scene. My hope is that when you look at my work, you don't just see a painting; you feel a renewed sense of wonder for the natural world and a reminder of the wild places that still exist around us."
