Residing and practicing art in the heart of the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, the artist finds inspiration in the diversity of landforms, contours, valleys, peaks, plateaus, granite, sandstone, and secret hideouts that surround them. The sweeping vistas of this magnificent setting serve as a catalyst for tapping into their creative impulse.
During their time in graduate school for Landscape Architecture, they delved into drawing, painting, and collage to convey and interpret design concepts. This exploration eventually led to mixed-media painting, assemblage, printmaking, and alternative process photography as vehicles for self-expression. Their experimental mission is to fuse ideas with materials and processes to create an alchemical space where various elements can coexist harmoniously.
Drawing inspiration from a wide range of interests such as botany, technology, science, science fiction, camera obscura, cinema, typography, and printmaking, the artist's image-making ideas are eclectic and diverse. Their current work focuses on the intersection between surface, form, and material through mixed-media abstraction, building surface and structure through applications of paint and material collage.
Those interested in adding a touch of artistic flair to their home or office decor can explore and purchase the prints created by the artist. By bringing a piece of the Rocky Mountains' beauty into their living or workspace, individuals can enjoy the unique fusion of architecture, cartography, landscape, cinema, symbol, surface, contour, and horizon line presented in the artist's work.
