My work draws from my passion for outdoor adventure and exploration, and the conservation of these precious spaces. Painting these landscapes transports me back, and renews my fervor for their protection. I aim to create anchor pieces for exhilaration, centering, and wonder when physically being in the expanse of nature is not possible. I use bold brush strokes and vibrant colors to better capture how it feels to be present and immersed in these spaces, beyond just how they appear. Playing with dramatic light and vivid colors helps me create a sense of wonder in my work. Through sharing my art, my aim is to ignite a passion for nature and its conservation in others.
After time spent living and working as a teacher in The Netherlands, Thailand, and the Pacific Northwest, I now live in Golden, Colorado and have turned my passion for art into a career. When I’m not painting, I fill my time with outdoor adventure, reading, and spending quality time with dear friends and family, including my wonderful husband and adorable dog.
I offer original oil paintings, archival giclee prints, and other products such as greeting cards featuring my work.
