Oklahoma Heritage Series

I grew up in Oklahoma, right by the fairgrounds where the Native Americans held their drum circles and annual pow wows. I was always so inspired by their spirit, their tribal connection, their rituals and ceremonial dress. These paintings express my admiration and respect for our nations rich Native American heritage. The wisdom of the grandmother, the warrior spirit of the men, the beauty and innocence of the children. This collection is my homage to this beautiful culture and way of life.

Rodeo in color Series

My daughter was obsessed with horses when she was little - like so many little girls. She began barrel racing and we would often find ourselves at rodeo events on the weekends. I love capturing the spirit of the rodeo in this collection. Something changes when you are with a horse. They have an inner knowing that brings their rider into a present confident respectful space. I use inks, acrylics, and finish with vibrant oils in these pieces. They invite the viewer to remember their inner child or hero within…the cowgirl (or cowboy) spirit that says “Lets ride!”

Pet commissions

Pet portraits are created to honor the bond we share with the animals that become part of our family. In a world filled with endless phone pictures and digital snapshots, an original hand-painted portrait offers something far more personal and lasting — a true piece of art created with intention, emotion, and individuality. My goal is to capture not only the appearance of a beloved pet, but also their spirit, personality, and presence in a way that photographs often cannot. Whether celebrating a lifelong companion, commemorating a cherished memory, or giving a deeply meaningful gift, each portrait is a timeless keepsake and a lasting tribute to the unconditional connection we share with our pets.

animal spirit series

I love living in the Mountains of Southern Colorado. I feel like a little kid when I wake up and see the deer across our back pasture. This series is my infatuation with the animal life here where we live. The elk, the mule deer, the hummingbirds that battle outside our kitchen window, the crow the soars on the mountain breeze, the eagle that soars above it all, the Bear that scares and inspires me - I love living so close to nature. These paintings bring you a little bit of Colorado wherever you hale from.

Abstraction Series

As an artist, my work explores the space between intention and instinct, blending abstract realism with emotional storytelling. I create through a process that embraces both structure and chaos — much like life itself — allowing each piece to evolve organically through movement, texture, and symbolism. My journey has taught me that hardship can become a catalyst for growth, and that transformation often emerges from uncertainty. Through layered imagery and expressive energy, I hope to create work that resonates on a deeper level, reminding others that resilience is not found in avoiding struggle, but in the courage to move through it.

Still Life Series

I love visiting our local farmers market and finding fresh-grown treasures from community farmers. While painting these still life's, I thought of summers at my grandmother’s home in Texas, picking all the figs I wanted from her trees. A bowl of lemons glowing in window light, or apples recalling fall harvests in Durango, inspire me to slow down and notice the beauty in ordinary moments. Through layered inks, acrylics, and vibrant oils, these paintings are meant to offer a quiet pause from the busyness of life — a chance to truly see. The ordinary is what we are made of, and often what connects us most deeply to art.
