Thank you for your interest in my art. It has been influenced by my love of nature, my childhood on the Navajo Reservation (my father was a curator for Native American art) and my experience as a yoga teacher.
Before moving to Ames, I lived in Arizona by a wash. I took walks there nearly every day for 23 years. As a result, I got to know many wild animals as individuals. They came close when I meditated by a spring under some cottonwood trees.
When I create art, I frequently take breaks to practice yoga or meditate. This practice puts me in a peaceful headspace.
Working in gray scale taught me the importance of seeing details to create a feeling of connection.
Please reach out if you are interested in commissioning a pet portrait; buying one of my artworks; or taking private drawing or yoga lessons.
