My Colorado fine art photography features nature, landscape, wildlife, flowers, urban, and black and white photos of the American West.
Since I moved to Colorado more than 20 years ago, I have been an avid outdoors enthusiast. In 1999 I moved to a house we built in the forest of the Rocky Mountains where we lived off grid with solar power, well water, and cliff hanging dirt roads for twelve years. It was a unique experience that connected me to my environment in a very personal way that I am so grateful to have experienced.
Many of my photographs were shot in this personal environment where I once lived. Colorado has so many wonderful opportunities for shooting photography. I have also traveled extensively in America's West shooting the Pacific Northwest, red rock canyons of the Four Corners, and the California coast. Besides my love of nature photography I enjoy the urban setting almost as much. It is challenging to capture that fleeting look and fast changing environment of the cityscape.
Besides my passion for photography, I love traveling, hiking in the mountain forests, reading, and sharing my life with my husband, daughter and two dogs.
