About the Artist

I have been drawing and painting ever since I can remember.  Whenever my grandfather visited he would bring a big box of crayons and we would draw for hours.  The love of color propels my art to this day and I am continually delighted by the variety of color in nature.  

In 2011 I left the corporate world and started painting in earnest, immersing myself in classes at the Art Student's League of Denver and traveling to the Lyme Art Institute to study with impressionists from the Lyme art colony and visiting instructors from the Scottsdale School of Art.

In 2014 I began a year long instructional course with Hazel Weckbach and am fortunate enough to have been accepted into his continuing masters course of study.  Hazel is an exceptional teacher, always willing and eager to share her vast knowledge and experience. 

Living and working in spectacular Colorado is a bonus.  The weather is exceptional, allowing me to be outside most days sketching, painting field studies and taking photo references before heading back to the studio.
