This bear is s a metaphor that shows the reality and the danger of forest fires which the Mountain West faces every summer. The wildlife lives in that fragile landscape and has to find their way out when they are faced with the flames and the smoke of their habitat burning away.
I designed this bear for my son Ethan. In creating this piece, my hope was to give him a part of me, of whom I am today. I realize that as people, we change with time and even though I may not imagine this now, I may be avery different person when he grows up. ...
Take a look at my first community mural project. The mosaic was installed at the end of June 2017 in Alamosa, Colorado. I created the design and the color scheme for the pattern while my partner Kyle did the engineering drawings for the installation as well as the steal frame. We had 36 volunteers come ...
Having lived in Colorado since the beginning of 2012 I have seen many beautiful sunsets over the foothills. Often the really good ones are seen from the car, driving between Denver and Boulder or Boulder and Lyons. You just sit there and take in that fleeting magical color display.

Here in Colorado the golden aspens glow in the bright sun and contrast beautifully with the coniferous trees that weave around the aspen colonies. Set ...
Sanitas Valley is a pleasant and rewarding trail between the the Hogback Ridge and Mount Sanitas with a perfect view of Green mountain which is one of the high peaks here in Boulder. It is one of my favorite trails here in town and I visit it often. I especially like the view of Green ...
This landscape has been inspired by my impression of the changing, vibrant aspen trees in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado where I live. Aspens live in large colonies and many share one root system so they change colors as a large group. That’s one of the reasons that the fall foliage is so incredible in the ...
I’ve always loved mountains but none as much as green mountains! I don’t just love mountains but hills as well – combine mountains, hills and a perfect blue sky and I’m in paradise =) I feel that I am on a quest to find my perfect landscape, my perfect green hills that roll back into ...
I am fascinated by the mountainous landscape following the snow melt when everything slowly comes to life in vibrant colors. The flower fields spring up in these environments, away from most people, hidden in beautiful secluded places. I feel that purple flowers in particular are a sign of the arrival of Spring. I often see them shooting up ...
