I am a graphic designer and encaustic artist living in Colorado with my dog Rosie. When I’m not in the studio, I'm most likely in the garden. Gardening isn’t just a passion—it’s an extension of my creative process. Many of the plants I grow ultimately become materials or references within my work.

​

My encaustic mixed-media work explores how memory is embedded in both the natural world and the objects we leave behind. Personal experiences, collected objects, and moments of quiet observation become starting points for compositions that suggest rather than explain, allowing meaning to shift as the work develops.

​

The resulting paintings move between past and present, permanence and change, nature and the human-made. Rather than offer a fixed narrative, they invite viewers to pause, look closer, and discover their own stories within layers of texture, memory, and time.

My work is held in private collections in England, Ireland, Canada and the USA.

 

I'm currently a member of the Art Students League of Denver, in Denver, CO and the Encaustic Art Institute in the Santa Fe, NM.
