I travel to natural spaces to find inspiration for my art, snapping photos and drawing sketches as I hike. Once home, I distill the subject into its essential elements; forms are simplified and colors enhanced. Acrylic paint is used in bold color combinations, which vibrate on the canvas. My goal is to share the boldness and beauty of outdoor adventure with others; to create joy, awe, appreciation, and curiosity through vibrant imagery.

Sometimes the photo I take is as good as the painting I make. These are some of my favorites. ✨
