A little bit about me, by Sqarespace AI:

As an artist, educator, and muralist, my journey is deeply intertwined with the natural world. Drawing inspiration from the vibrant colors and intricate patterns found in nature, I create works that reflect its beauty and complexity. In my role as a teacher, I hope to inspire others to explore their own creativity, encouraging students to see the artistic potential in the world around them. My murals transform public spaces into vibrant reflections of the environment, fostering a deeper appreciation or our complex relationship with nature. Through my art and teachings, I strive to bridge the gap between creativity and nature, cultivating awareness and connection in our communities.

I am very proud to have been the cover artist for Juxtapoz Magazine's Environmental Issue, printed in August 2015. This opportunity was a significant milestone in my career. The issue highlighted critical environmental issues, and I was honored to contribute my vision to such an important conversation. Creating artwork that resonates with both the artistic community and broader environmental concerns continues to inspire my work today. Being featured on the cover not only propelled my career forward but also underscored my commitment to raising awareness through art.

My studio is in Seattle and I teach painting and drawing at Skagit Valley College, where I am a tenured faculty member and chair of the Art Department.
