As a child, I was intrigued with horses and pictures. Identifying as an artist and a horseperson, I cherish my connection with early peoples whose drawings date back tens of thousands of years.
Nature is my enduring inspiration in life and art. Like clouds, nothing is static but is eternally connected. My horses and the land they live on keep me grounded and are constant reminders to practice being aware and ever present in the moment.
My life path includes creating and sharing what I love. Teaching, creating, and exhibiting my work are some of the ways that I share. These components are a genesis force to encourage observation, curiosity, exploration, and discovery. My work includes paintings and commissioned murals and dioramas for museum exhibition.
“To those yet to come,
We wait in joyful anticipation
of their birth.
To those who have gone on before us,
We say their names
and tell their stories
so, they are not forgotten.
And for those of us here today,
Let us be present with each other
for these days
do not last.”
