Atmospheric Landscapes: the beauty of earth,
sky, & light

Solo Exhibition in Colorado Springs, Colorado

Something entirely new is coming next April to Auric Gallery in Colorado Springs. I’ve been quietly building a body of work unlike anything I’ve ever done — an immersive installation of over 200 small paintings that resemble stones. Each one is shaped, cut, sanded, and painted by hand, carrying its own surface, weight, and presence. None of these pieces will be shown before the opening. They’ll be revealed all at once — a landscape of painted forms that invites you to stand among them, to feel the stillness and the accumulation of time. It’s been a secret in progress, and I can’t wait to finally share it.  Hope to see you there!

Solo Exhibition in Santa Fe, New Mexico

A solo exhibition is scheduled for September 2026 at Divine West Gallery in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The exhibition will draw heavily from the Southwest landscape, using abstraction to reflect its scale, light, and enduring sense of place rather than direct representation.

Giving Back

Rocky Mountain Field Institute

Colorado's Nature speaks to me, moves me.  If I am not painting or teaching, you will most likely find me and my family outdoors.  You cannot beat the trails and open space this state has to offer. 

 

This is why I give back to an organization who's purpose is based on conserving and protecting public lands in Southern Colorado.  A portion of my proceeds are donated to RMFI, helping to support the education and restoration in our community.  Find out more here about what RMFI does for our Rocky Mountain state.
