ART

The process of making art transports me to places and moments that are full of magic, change, wild silliness, and demanding challenge. It helps me to tell stories, support conservation projects, and advocate for public spaces. There is no way to fully re-create a sunrise dancing across a high ridge or the emotion that comes from being present for a miracle or the gratitude for having an unforgettable conversation, but I strive to bring parts of that energy into my work.

When I think of the trail experience, one of the first things I think about are the tracks that are made in sand, mud, or snow. They are representative of friends and other hikers ahead - our human animal tracks. I have been wearing the same type of shoes for all my walking and the little triangles that I leave behind are embedded in my trail memories. They find their way into my paintings. Dirt, mud, and sand get thrown into the air A small fracturing of the surface I’m treading on.
