With my art I capture the spectacular interplay of color, light and image and then distill it down, while still 

maintaining the original awe. I like to present the viewer with a different way of seeing images while evoking a sense of enjoyment and creating a smile. My “joie de vivre” is exploring with harmonious color & disappearing for hours to create whimsical and colorful expressive paintings. I paint the Colorado mountains and aspen trees which surround me and provide a quiet escape. Other subject matter includes a series of pups with expressive personalities, lively bicycles and an abstract series using my characteristic bold hues, shape and texture. I use oil pastels which were originally developed for Pablo Picasso. They are an ideal medium with which to render my impressions while outside or traveling the world.
