I grew up surrounded by the beauty of the Rocky Mountains in beautiful Colorado, and the lush desert in sunny Arizona. I was introduced to horses at as a toddler and that grew into a strong passion for equines, other animals, and nature. My observations inspired a desire to artistically express my passion; recreating the harmony they invoke within. I come from a family of artisans with backgrounds in poetry, music, painting, wood working, graphic design, crafts, and more. I was constantly surrounded by art and naturally I followed in those footsteps by creating works of art to convey what I observed in pencil art. I bring to the easel a unique perspective utilizing the intensity and contrast of the pencil to bring about subtle details in horses, other animals, and nature often missed in color. I live and work in the mountains and high desert of beautiful Colorado and it is my mission to bring the wonders of nature into the hearts of others.
