I love to paint and I love being outside. Combine the two, and you get an “en plein air” painter. Being outside and having a heightened awareness of light, air (or lack of it in the Rocky Mountains!), and color is what puts me in my happy place.  In the studio, I paint the animals and birds of which I'm so fond, as well as commissions of people's beloved pets.

I hope to bring an awareness to the natural beauty that is around us, the impact we each have on our surroundings, the importance of being aware and perhaps urge the viewer to appreciate and help preserve the common beauty in his or her own world.

I am constantly updating this website as I create new paintings... feel free to check in often!
