I am a painter drawn to the places where time, memory, and spirit converge. My work is often created on location—on footpaths, in remote canyons, or beside rusted machines left to rest. I paint what I see, but more importantly, I paint what I feel the land is trying to reveal.
Born in Germany in 1967 as an Army brat and raised across the U.S., I spent much of my early life searching for a sense of home. That search, marked by both trauma and resilience, eventually led me back to the American West, where I found something deeper than nostalgia—connection.
Many of my paintings emerge from spiritual encounters in the landscape. I often feel the presence of beings—not imagined, but perceived—who live in stone, sky, and wind. Though I am not Native American, I walk these places with humility, guided by a deep respect for the spirits and stories that came long before me.
My collections—such as New Mexico Inspired, Tools of Burden, Stories of Rest, and Monochrome Visions—are not just visual records. They are meditations. Each piece is a pause, a moment of witness, and an invitation to see what still breathes in forgotten places.
