Luminous Mountain Night I, acrylic on board, 14″x18″, 2022
This painting is inspired by magical, star filled night skies above the spectacular Rocky Mountains of Colorado. It is varnished in satin, has a signed certificate of authenticity on the back as well as a hanging wire.
In this new painting, I strove to convey the pristine, breathtaking look of Winter in Colorado. Its been snowing here in Pagosa Springs where I live and I felt particularly inspired. Sometimes I look out the window at the snowy wonderland and admire the beauty while at the same time, I am fascinated by how cold the season can get and I’m comforted by all the warm, cozy blankets around me =) Sometimes it feel like you can almost see the crystals forming in the air around you. I kept that thought in my mind while I painted and wanted to capture the fidget yet beautiful feeling of Winter.
I had an extended break following the completion of my Autumn Collection. It felt good to pick up the paintbrush and my paint markers. These small works are the start of my Winter Collection. Here I focused on early morning and night scenes. Winter’s Dawn II, acrylic on board, 6″x12″x1.5″, 2022 ~Available Enchanted Winter Night ...
This fun little project is more of a unique way for me to create miniature, affordable art to share with my audience, rather than something that I can sustain creating on a regular basis. Its a way for me to connect to folks who care about my art and what I do – my way to share my work on a more accessible scale. The bonus of that, with this particular project, is that these small round landscapes make perfect ornaments, though they can hang on a wall year round in a non-Christmas celebrating home. They are perfect tiny accents for a special nook of a room, adding a bit of nature’s magic.
I am pleased to share that my painting “Celestial Mountain Night” has been chosen to be the cover art for the December issue of Colorado Central Magazine.

As the Summer began nearing an end my excitement for Autumn began to grow, I embarked on a new series of landscapes – my 2022 Autumn Collection. Having lived in Colorado for over a decade now, I’ve gathered enough inspiration for a lifetime. It was time to put some of that to work! I set out to paint and the colorful vistas began to pour out of me.
