Visual Art – Denver

I am an illustrator and painter. My canvas works are in oil and illustrations are charcoal, ink, and soft pastels. I started painting in 2009, as an escape for when my fiance was deployed. I learned to love art because it was a distraction; something I could dive deep into and turn off my brain. Art for me has become a solace and a way for me to express the things I find most beautiful in a world where sometimes we only see what is dim and bleak. I love to use bright colors and fairy-tale like themes in my works; to express not only beauty but dreams, desire, and a limitlessness of what our minds can imagine.
