SUMMARY
Works explore color, movement, and light through expressive, palette-knife acrylic techniques. Inspired by landscapes, communities, and mountain culture across Idaho, the paintings capture both the energy of the natural world and the spirit of human connection. Experience includes gallery exhibitions, poster artist competitions, private commissions, and live-paint fundraisers, with artwork designed to engage viewers emotionally and visually, transforming familiar spaces into moments of discovery and delight.
