I live in Niwot, Colorado a small community near Boulder, with my husband and three children. My artwork since 2010 has focused on environmental and political issues. I use encaustic medium on wood panels to create paintings that have depth and intensity of color. It is my intention to make work that is visually compelling to bring attention to the work and thereby stimulate conversation about matters which are challenging our world.
