A little about me:

Much of my inspiration comes from my childhood. I grew up in the great Northwest skiing and snowboarding in the winter and playing sports and going to outdoors camps in the summer. I moved from Spokane, Washington to Bellingham in 2006 and have been enjoying the great surroundings and great people, who love living sustainably, supporting local business, craft beer, and just overall having a good time! I love to be around lots of people as much as I love to spend the day alone painting, or curled up with a cup of coffee and a good book.

 

When I paint or draw, or whatever it is I may be creating, I love it when I get into a kind of "flow", where it is effortless and easy to put my direct emotion into the physical painting. I find painting therapeutic and enjoy being able to share it with others. Bob Ross got me started with his "happy trees" and encouragement that anyone can paint, you just have to try. Other local Whatcom County artists have continued to inspire me to believe in myself and remind me to keep taking chances!

 

I would describe my work as simple at first glance, yet full of depth. I hope you enjoy my paintings as much as I enjoyed creating them.

 

Enjoy my website!

Maybe it will even inspire you to take a few chances of your own!
