I am a visual artist who's passion is to transform the three dimensional landscape in the Southwest onto the two dimensional surface. Although my paintings are derived from reality and places I have seen, they are intuitive and lively in color, with an emphasis on light and mood.

I have lived in Flagstaff, Arizona for 29 years and feel fortunate that I have been able to raise my two children here. I am currently an art teacher for the Montessori Charter School of Flagstaff, a private art instructor, an interior designer, and now the director of the Lone Tree Gallery. I enjoy being able to participate in so many different aspects of the art world, but I am continually striving for the opportunity to live my life as a full time artist.
