I’m a Colorado native, and love the beauty of this state. I feel I’ve been drawing, painting, and creating, all my life.
I studied Fine Art and Graphic Design at CSU, Fort Collins. Also studied abstract watercolor at Red Rocks college.
I feel that my strong design sense in my approach to my painting, comes from over 25 years as a graphic designer.
I truly believe that we are all creative souls, and that its so important to express that creativity in a non judgemental way;
thus enjoying the process and growing from it. Don’t ignore your inner beauty. BLOOM!
One of my favorite quotes:
“I decided that if I could paint that flower in a huge scale, you could not ignore its beauty."-Georgia O’Keefe
