I am a painter who lives in St. Paul, MN.  I work with oils, acrylics, and pastels.  While most of my works are landscapes, I also do abstracts and portrait paintings. People have described my work as colorful, passionate, and purposeful.

Some of paintings tell stories about I feel about climate change and human rights injustices.  Check out my 3-painting series, The Refugees, which describes the journey of a Guatamalan family fleeing their homeland, escaping violence and famine, only to find themselves in terrible refugee camps.

Currently, I am focusing on my pastels, working in the field. I enjoy the colors of summer, capturing the rich greens, blues and reds of the season, and creating images that I see.
