I grew up on the great lake of Erie and fell for the outdoors. I moved to colorful Colorado to run wild in the mountains and started painting the incredible western landscapes I was experiencing.
I spend almost all of my free time hiking Colorado's peaks and therefore my style tends to be colorful, intense, and dreamy to capture the essence of our beautiful backcountry.
When I'm not oil painting landscapes on wood panel, I love capturing the beautiful imperfections in nature by immortalizing wilting flowers on canvas.

How long have you been painting?
I started painting in college when I studied to be an Art Teacher. It challenged me, but there was something so euphoric about focusing in and letting the process take me away. I now use to to express my love and gratitude for the landscapes I experience.
How many paintings do you make a month?
I am running a business on the side, but try hard to produce 2-3 new paintings each month.
How do you price your paintings?
I usually charge by the square inch and the amount of time spent. I feel this is the most consistent and fair way to charge for my work.
Do you do commissions?
As long as the commission fits my style and interests, absolutely.
Do you offer workshops?
Yes. I offer a ton of creative workshops through my business, Denver Art Days. Check out upcoming workshops at www.denverartdays.com .
