She is one of 12 landscape artists chosen for the 2013 hardback book, “Art of the National Parks”, and six major art magazines have featured her work in articles and covers.

Artist's Statement:

The “painting or palette knife” technique, which I use exclusively, lends itself well to painting nature and the outdoors. I love the look of texture that the palette knife creates and enjoy the challenges of recreating the mood, lighting, and excitement I feel at that moment. The edges, points, and broken passages of thick paint create depth and details that a brush might not be able to achieve. Growing up on a large cattle ranch in Central Wyoming gave me a deep-rooted love and a fascination with the Western landscape and capturing it on canvas.
