Overview:
"Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it
with us or we find it not."
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Biography
"I've always drawn and painted. When I was little, I would watch my Dad
at his easel. The smells of paint, turpentine, and linseed oil were as
comforting as the smell of home cooking. In recent years, I have found
the pure color and amazing versatility of pastels have made it my
favorite medium.
The amazing and magical landscape of New Mexico keeps me simultaniously
grounded and floating on air. The light, atmosphere and color in the
southwest are constantly changing. Whether I am painting en Plein Air or
in the studio, I try to express what I see and how I feel about the
beauty of the natural landscape that surrounds me. My goal as an artist
is to establish a connection between my expression of what is before me,
and you, the viewer.
