FROM THE ARTIST

“My inspiration for creating art is Nature’s perpetually changing palette, season to season, day to day…the color, light, and shadows that cause vivid, often unexpected beauty in the Western Landscape. 

The golden sunsets and expanse of sapphire sky, the rusty red cliffs, the blaze of sunlight on gray-green prairie grasses, and the rich depth of color on the intricate petal of a delicate flower.

Travel with me on a poetic journey through landscapes and gardens that express the heart and soul of God’s Handiwork.”
