A woman wearing sunglasses and a white bandana, looking to the side, with mountains and greenery in the background.

Living in Southwest Colorado, the spirit of the West infuses my life and my work - it's not just visible in the finished artwork, it informs and fuels my creative process from beginning to end. Painting is a way to stay rooted and connected to my home while continually discovering new ways to interpret and experience it

When you buy a painting or print from me, you’re not just getting a decoration to hang on your wall, you’re bringing a genuine piece of the West into your home.
