I take daily walks and am continually inspired by the beauty of the mountains in Colorado. I paint both outside surrounded by nature and in my home studio in Erie. I take a lot of photos when I travel, and also use those for inspiration. I can find beauty just about anywhere.  I use bold brushstrokes and color to convey the passion that I feel for my subject matter, and my canvases keep getting bigger every year as I try to express bigger and bigger visions.
