Artist Biography
Art has always been an interest of mine ever since my first box of 64 Crayola Crayons. For 30+ years my creative focus has been on painting.
I live in Colorado where I practice mastering techniques, choosing challenging projects, and staying connected to my artistic side. I love to enter competitions and strive to improve with every brush stroke. I’m deeply inspired by nature and confess that everything I see is a potential painting. While watercolor is my primary choice of medium, I have branched out into acrylics and mixed media.
I hope you enjoy my work!
