Being creative has become a way of life. I wouldn’t feel like ‘me‘ if I wasn’t doing something creative every day.
My mother encouraged my art work at an early age. I loved to draw, paint, sketch. Horses were my favorite subjects then… now my focus has turned to mountains and other nature-scapes.
As an adult, I have explored a number of different mediums; paints, glass, and metal.
Lexi Erickson introduced me to Metalworking. She is my sister and one of my closest friends (next to my soul mate Dan). Lexi and Dan are true mentors in every aspect of the word. My artistic journey has taken me in new directions I never dreamed possible. Thanks to Lexi, I have been able to further my metalwork studies with her and one of her mentor’s, Harold O’Connor. I find working with metal to be truly fascinating.
I am one of the founding members of Rocky Mountain Metalsmiths, and a former board member of the Colorado Metalsmithing Association.
Working with metal has opened unlimited opportunities for learning, exploring, and creating. The possibilities seem endless. It is my firm belief that life is filled with continual learning experiences and that must be embraced. I strive to do this in all areas of my existence.
I am blessed to share my life with my best friend and husband, Dan. He is my soul mate. We share our home with three, yes three, adorable basset hounds. Life with bassets is never dull and they are the most delightful companions and entertainers. We are members of the Basset Hound Club of America and find bassets to be a truly remarkable breed. There’s nothing like a hound!
Aspiring to be more as an artist and a person every day.
