Alpine Night Painting
This painting was inspired by clear nights in remote mountain environments where the sky is filled with infinite stars.

Winter’s Night
Colorado is a true winter wonderland, a truly magical place when the Rocky Mountains are veiled in fresh snow. I’ve also lived in areas where the night sky is pretty spectacular. With this new painting I wanted to combine some of my favorite aspects of experiencing Winter in the mountains.
New Minies
I hope you enjoy my latest series of mini landscapes. I aim to fill these small canvases (boards) with as much color and nature’s beauty as I can <3
Lavender Spell – Painting
This is an original acrylic painting inspired by autumn in the mountains when the sun sets and the mountains turn a warm, lavender color for a brief moment.
Fog Island – Painting
If the atmosphere in the mountains is just right, the effect can be mystical. The scenery can feel almost other worldly. I find that this is true for me when I see the sinking fog in the mountains. The high peeks are peeking from a light blanket of moisture. The feeling is so mysterious and a bit eerie. It always makes me think of fairy tales.
Pomegranate Sunset – Painting
This is that Wow type of sunset =) You know what I mean if you’ve seen one for yourself. We always hope to see that bright, vibrant pink sky at sunset but a lot of times they sky offers a more subtle type of beauty. Sometimes though when all the the components are present, there is an explosion of color above. That was my driving force behind this brand new painting.
Lotus Flower Installation II
This is the second part of my new lotus installation at the Mystic Valley Sculpture Park near the Great Sand Dunes National Park. These flowers face Blanca Peak to the East. They are opening up toward the light as the sun rises from behind the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.
Dawn at Blue Ridge Mountains – Painting
If you’ve been to the Blue Ridge Mountains, you’ve experienced the Magic. I’ve been lucky enough to hike these mountains throughout the various states that they span. I’ve quietly walked past a mama bear with two cubs, hiked the tall peaks, walked the forest floors, admired the endless vistas from the many lookouts along the Blue Ridge Highway and camped along some of the prettiest spots I’ve ever seen there.
Wintery Moonrise
Winter is quickly approaching in many parts of the US. Over the last month, I’ve been watching dustings of snow gather on the nearby mountain peaks here in Colorado. I’ve been feeling the chill in the air. I’ve
been daydreaming of admiring the pristine scenes of the beautiful, white Rockies. I’ve also been seeing incredible moon-rises, emerging from behind the mountains. So I sat down in the studio and put these fun impressions together and this little painting emerged.
New Installation at the Sculpture Park
This is my latest art installation at the Mystic Valley Sculpture Park in Mosca, Colorado. It consists of 5 Lotus Flowers which have been a recurring theme in my art over the years. I created all of the ceramic tiles in my studio and complimented them with hand made glass mosaics.
