From Forest to Studio

I grew up on the east edge of Cleveland where suburb meets forest- one of six kids running free until suppertime. The forest was my favorite place to be besides inside a drawing where I could lose myself for hours. 

 I am lucky to work in the woods, as a Forester for the Rio Grande National Forest,  and to have the time, space, and desire to continue creating. My focus is abstract painting which I find endlessly interesting and challenging. The forest and landscape where I work, mountain bike, and hike inspire me every day.

I have lived and worked in the San Luis Valley, south central Colorado, since 2002.
