As a contemporary artist and painter, I feel very blessed to be living in beautiful Taos, New Mexico. An avid hiker and outdoors enthusiast, the ambiance of this area stimulates my creativity. As I meander through the forests and up to the tops of mountain peaks, absorbing the sounds and scents of our Mother, I know I am home. Nature is such an inspiration and comfort to me. As a painter, I draw upon these experiences, along with my dreams and meditations to inspire my work.

 

My main focuses are landscape and abstract. I am in my 3rd year of "Plein Air" painting, painting outside on location. It's perfect for me combining my love of nature and painting into one experience. Primarily working in oil, acrylics and pastel, I also enjoy charcoal, graphite, and photography. I love experimenting with new mediums and I am currently trying out a cold wax medium. As a life learner, I am constantly seeking out workshops and new ideas. In May 2024 I attended a "Radiant Light" workshop at the Scottsdale Artist School. In 2025 I attended the "Magic Grid" workshop with Kevin MacPherson here in Taos. 

 

Currently my work is on display at the Taos Artist Collective at 106 Paseo del Norte, and at the Sanctuary of Artist at 219 Kit Carson Road, both in Taos. I am a member of the Taos Plein Air Painters, Plein Air Painters of New Mexico, the Taos Abstract Artist Collective and the Taos Watercolor Society.
