I am an Artist, Author, Coach, eLearning designer, and avid runner and outdoor enthusiast. My diversified background combines fine arts, writing, theatre and film performance, and organizational leadership training and coaching.
After working for many years with Fortune 500 companies creating and implementing global team and leadership development programs, I loaded up the truck and moved to Taos, NM to pursue my dream of being a working artist and writer in the beautiful Sangre de Cristo mountains. While most days I am either typing out fictional stories on the keyboard or running and landscape painting, I continue to work with both large organizations and individuals helping them to reach their personal and professional goals.
Mission Statement: To inspire peace, creativity and understanding through multiple artistic mediums help others mine their internal diamonds to achieve and live their dreams.
Vision Statement: Through painting, drawing, printing, carving, writing, performing and coaching, my vision is for enhanced personal effectiveness and satisfaction and more loving, generous and balanced world.
Artist Statement: I combine my love and passion for intense physical activity and various art mediums to share the great outdoors. Nature is my church and the flora and fauna is the choir. I often paint while trail running and hiking (often at the same time) in the wide and expansive canvas of New Mexico. Carrying all of my materials while I run, I paint energy into Mother Nature’s shapes and objects while teasing out what’s already inside. Once back in the studio I apply heavy coats of paint with a variety of tools creating a stained glass effect.
During my high altitude trail run and painting adventures, the combination of these activities provides an unparalleled nirvana-like state, one where pragmatic thinking and intuitiveness flow effortlessly.
I am currently working on a large-scale art installation based on gun violence that will utilize wax sculpture, electronics, and text graphics.
