"My passion for painting has everything
to do with my wonder and appreciation
for God's amazing creation. Watching a
spectacular prairie sunset or a soft moun-
tain meadow sunrise, observing my horses
grazing in a sun-drenched field of grass
and dandelions, or riding up a sagebrush
covered hill---all of this inspires me to try
to capture these fleeting moments in oil or
pastel. I'm fortunate to live in the moun-
tains along the Colorado/Wyoming border,
and blessed to be able to witness on a
daily basis the ever-changing hues of
nature. I want to use beautiful bits of
exciting color to convey the beauty I
see around me. This is a desire I truly
feel is God-given."
