“We're all looking at the same sun, it just has a different setting based on where we stand. May art be a unifier.
At times the only thing that can rival the enormity of the undulating Front Range is the expansiveness of a Colorado blue sky. My focus is on the fleeting beauty that surrounds us. Through interpretations of place, I invite the viewer to a moment of respite in the bustle of our days: to celebrate the brilliance of color, get lost in the airiness of the sky, or bask in the quietude of our open spaces.
A literal translation of place is less important to me than a filtering of my experience of the day, shaped and fueled by internal dialogue. Instead of being tied to a single narrative, the expressive nature of my work allows the viewer to bring their own story to the imagery."
