I'm a Denver-based encaustic painter who grew up in New York and was dragged kicking and screaming to Colorado as a child. I have long since forgiven my parents and embraced the beauty of this wonderous state.
I studied art and graphic design at Colorado State University, and following graduation, moved back to Denver and have remained here ever since. After years as an oil and watercolor painter, a friend encouraged me to take an encaustics workshop at the Art Students League of Denver. It was love at first fuse and I've never looked back.
I explore my love for this amazing state and my yearning to live near the ocean by incorporating the beauty and mystery of these mountains, forests, and seas in my imagined landscapes.
