I am an oil painter based in Evergreen, Colorado. I began my art journey in 2004 studying portraiture in the academic realist style. After a few years, I began experimenting with looser styles, bolder color, and improvised shapes. I derive joy from the beautiful vistas in Colorado and really anywhere I travel. Vivid colors, interesting compositions, and the myriad effects of light inspire me. My biggest achievements to date have been numerous portrait commissions of children and pets, as well as several awards won for my reproduction paintings. With every new painting I strive to become a better artist. My current profile consists of landscapes, but I also accept commissions for portraits. Contact me for pricing on portrait commissions.
