For years I’ve had an idea to incorporate a bird into my landscapes. This would build on my previous work with a female character as part of the landscape. The bird would be a morphing character that passes through a series of scenes. I’ve not yet had time to bring this vision to fruition but ...
In 2013 my partner Kyle and I ventured on an epic trip to Wyoming. For about 10 days we explored Yellowstone National Park as well as Teton National Park. We only had 3 days in the Tetons but we made the most of it. We backpacked Cascade/Paintbrush Canyons and did a few other day hikes ...
This new mosaic is inspired by one of the hikes we did in Glacier National Park in Montana in the summer of 2013. We combined the Ice Lake Trail with the Ptarmigan Tunnel Trail. Hands down it is one of the best hikes I’ve ever done and would do again in a heartbeat. On this scenic ...
In early spring, while driving on US 36 between Lyons and Boulder, I was confronted with the most magical and serene view that stuck with me for days. That drive is always beautiful with the rolling foothills and the famous Boulder Mountains on display for all the cyclists, drivers and passengers to enjoy. That day the leaves on the ...
This landscape is of a view of the San Juan Mountains from the mountain pass “The Dallas Divide” along the Continental Divide. Fall foliage is one of my favorite natural phenomena. Here in Colorado the golden aspens glow in the bright sun and contrast beautifully with the coniferous trees that weave around the aspen colonies. Set ...
Sanitas Valley is a pleasant and rewarding trail between the the Hogback Ridge and Mount Sanitas with a perfect view of Green mountain which is one of the high peaks here in Boulder. It is one of my favorite trails here in town and I visit it often. I especially like the view of Green ...
The mosaic is inspired by a summer trip to the Teton Mountains. I hiked the Canyon/Paintbrush Loop where the mountain views were spectacular, especially from the backcountry campsite in the Northern section of Cascade Canyon near Lake Solitude. Everything was so lush and green, the wild flowers were blossoming everywhere – the blue and yellow ones ...
This landscape has been inspired by my impression of the changing, vibrant aspen trees in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado where I live. Aspens live in large colonies and many share one root system so they change colors as a large group. That’s one of the reasons that the fall foliage is so incredible in the ...
This piece is inspired by Vermont’s legendary fall foliage. In some areas of the state, the reds are particularly vibrant and shiny – seeing this in person is pure magic. I wanted to show a view of the mountains disappearing in all directions into the distant cloudy sky. In my landscape, the sky is covered in semi dark clouds but there is ...
This piece is inspired by part of the view I got to enjoy from my porch while living and working on a sheep dairy farm in Northeast Vermont. In the spring and in the summer, the fields and pastures would blossom in colonies of flowers, change color almost every week as different flowers took the spotlight. I especially ...
