Biography
I am a long time Colorado resident and now split my time between Colorado and Arizona. I recently rediscovered my childhood interest in art and began taking classes from Doug Dawson and Jane Jones at the Art Student's League in Denver, in addition to classes at the West Valley Art Museum and Glendale Community College in Arizona. My inspiration comes from many different sources, but I like paintings with strong impact, movement, and bold color. Travel has also been a terrific resource for new ideas.
