I am a Colorado native but also spent a fair amount of time in Texas. Until recently, I always considered myself a watercolor artist and felt confined to that little “box” I put myself in. On a whim and a quest for discovery, I took a workshop in mixed media techniques. Since that day, I’ve been obsessed – I’ve found a new and exciting way to express my creativity. I’m on a constant quest to find unusual “things” to use in my paintings. I’ve used everything from plaster, twine, metal, foil, and even broken windshield glass. I also became intrigued and started experimenting with encaustic techniques.
Even though I’ve been exploring and learning different techniques, I still have a great love for watercolor. In an attempt to create a little something different, I have been playing and working with watercolor batik. The results are both fascinating and surprising!
I'm constantly learning about art and technique, through self-study as well as taking workshops and courses from a host of talented instructors in a variety of venues. My work has been displayed throughout the Front Range and resides in private collections both nationally and internationally.
I teach adult and children’s courses through the Highlands Ranch Community Association as well as the Grange in the Meadows in Castle Rock. I love helping people discover their creativity and seeing themselves in a new, creative light.
Thanks for joining me on this adventure!
