I am living in a dream. In April 2016, my husband and I sold our house and our possessions in Colorado. We bought a truck, a 36 foot trailer and hit the road. Wayne is a graphic designer and I paint. We have no idea how long this adventure will take but we are having an amazing time. Every day is a new day and it brings new people, new places and new things. This experience has been a constant reminder of how much our world is filled with kindness, beauty and bottomless inspiration.
I paint paintings of subjects and scenes that make me feel wondrous and joy, adding a small touch of whimsey. I will look at a subject and I think to myself, what is in that 'thing' that makes me want to bring it to the canvas? I identify the voice that is calling out, the felt message that will ultimately draw in the people that need to see it. I like to create a scene, indications of the surrounding area. My fascination lies within the relationship between subject, place, color, texture and life energy - the inbetween - the stuff we cannot see.
I attended Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design, receiving a degree in Graphic Design. Now focusing on fine art I have attended workshops from Dan Beck, Kim English, Nura Mascareñas, Michelle Torrez, Mitch Caster and Melinda Morrison, as well as classes at the Art Students League of Denver.
