Since I live in Colorado, the influence of the western landscape is often apparent in my work. Many of my paintings fit into my "geologic abstraction" series. They are inspired by the rocks, cliffs, canyons and landscapes of the west.
The textural element of my work is important to me. I work on panel and canvas. I invite the viewer to use not only their visual sense, but also their tactile sense to experience my paintings.
I have been painting for about 12 years. My formal art education was in the form of workshops taken from nationally known artists. Now I teach other artists my mixed media techniques in Colorado and around the country.
