Visual Art – Denver

Born and raised in North Platte, Nebraska, I have lived and worked in Winter Park, Colarado since late 2012; just up the road from Denver at 9,000 feet. Yearning to create for as long as I can remember, I received a BFA in painting and drawing in 2011, and have been passionately placing color on paper and canvas ever since.

I become deeply engaged in this process that is both with and without self-control - fluidity and acceptance are key to achieving both beauty and happiness. My process is more important to me than the finished product - as this life is all about the journey, not the destination. More often than not, I simply allow my materials to act as they naturally do, guiding my paintings into a general direction without attachment to whatever that direction may turn out to be..
