Artist Statement:

As an artist, I am heavily influenced by my environment: nature, music, people, and places. I translate those influences and inspirations into abstract works full of color and shapes which become segmented much like a kaleidoscope or a stained glass window. Growing up in Oklahoma, I was continuously inspired by the back-drop of the “big sky” and its colors and dramatic scenes like an expansive and ever-changing painting. I now reside in colorful Colorado and I'm constantly inspired by the breathtaking landscape, beautiful terrain, and gorgeous sky and incorporate these elements into my work.
