ESSENCE. The place in my paintings and photography where the natural world lives. Each brushstroke and photograph captures the spirit of an outdoor moment, from the first rays of light shining on the lodgepole pines to the silly ways of a chipmunk neighbor in the Colorado mountains!

I may have been trekking through North American seashores, forests, rolling hills, or discovering wild raspberries behind my old log cabin in the Rocky’s; no matter where, there is awe. Miles of untethered wandering which always leaves my heart full.
