About the Artist

I am inspired by a variety of subjects. I spend many hours photographing flowers in as many settings as I can. I also set up still lifes in my studio, arranging and rearranging them until I find a composition that inspires me. I am fortunate to live in Boulder, Colorado, one of the most beautiful small cities in the country, so I have a never-ending source of inspiration for my landscape paintings. And some of my favorite landscape paintings have been from my travels around the United States and in Europe, Japan, and Australia; I take many photographs and also enjoy making illustrated journals when I travel. There’s beauty everywhere…slow down and look for it.
