I grew up in the Wisconsin countryside, spending my childhood exploring swamps, farmland, and the beauty of the natural world. When traveled to Colorado  \I fell in love with the mountains and the incredible landscapes of the West.

Nature and the mountains have continued to inspire me throughout my life. I express that connection through stained glass and mosaic art, using color, light, texture, and pattern to capture the beauty and spirit of the places I love.

I enjoy bringing individual pieces of glass, stone, and other materials together to create artwork inspired by mountains, water and the ever-changing colors of nature. Each piece is a way for me to share my love of the outdoors and transform those experiences into something tangible and lasting.

My art is a celebration of nature, color, and light—and a reflection of the places that have always felt like home.
