ABOUT
Born in Denver, Colorado in 1977 and received a BFA from the University of Northern Colorado in Fine Art and Design. Relocating to Seattle, WA after University I joined the artist collective and gallery “The Forgotten Works” in the 619 Western building, the oldest and largest Arts Studio building on the West coast. During my four years at the gallery, I exhibited in monthly solo and group shows for the first Thursday Art Walks.
After moving from Seattle to San Francisco, I spent twelve inspiring years in the Bay Area participating in solo and group exhibits at galleries and boutiques. Most recently I’ve been fortunate to participate in an international exhibition in Girona, Spain and shortly after completed a full circle move back to live in Colorado. In addition to exhibitions my artwork has also been featured in international editorial magazines.
My creative process incorporates a unique layering process beginning with an acrylic paint pour technique for the backgrounds. This organic paint pour process includes movement of the paint colors on the wooden panel to create a unique flow formation and then fire to pop cells which create a unique background. This background then informs the foreground composition where I use oil paint for the gradient overlay and details. The inspiration for much of my art comes from my meditation experiences exploring the nature of mind.
