In early spring, while driving on US 36 between Lyons and Boulder, I was confronted with the most magical and serene view that stuck with me for days. That drive is always beautiful with the rolling foothills and the famous Boulder Mountains on display for all the cyclists, drivers and passengers to enjoy. That day the leaves on the ...
This landscape is of a view of the San Juan Mountains from the mountain pass “The Dallas Divide” along the Continental Divide. Fall foliage is one of my favorite natural phenomena. 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 ...
The mosaic is inspired by a summer trip to the Teton Mountains. I hiked the Canyon/Paintbrush Loop where the mountain views were spectacular, especially from the backcountry campsite in the Northern section of Cascade Canyon near Lake Solitude.

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 ...
In 2011, my mountains began to morph into more pointy formations. This was a contrast from the softer, eroded landscape of Vermont. I was living in Chicago at this time, really missing Vermont while at the same time daydreaming of new places to explore in the future. I also looked back on hikes in New ...
This piece was inspired by the magical imagery of Lake Powell located between Arizona and Utah. Its a reservoir that was created by flooding Glen Canyon. I think of this piece as a landscape that is deeply rooted in my agate and dreamscape series. It incorporates elements from both while heading in a new direction ...
