• READ ABOUT MY MAGIC IN THE NEWSPAPER!
  I was honored to have this beautiful little piece about my artwork in the Aspen Times! Thanks to Rachel Cossman of Engel & Völkers for the delightful writeup!

• MAGIC WITH MOUNT SOPRIS APPAREL:
  I’ve mashed up my digital abstract art with my photographs of our iconic local mountain, Mount Sopris and used these designs for apparel: they are BEAUTIFUL!

• MAGIC THROUGH PERFORMANCE:
  Once again, I danced and modeled in our local annual Green is the New Black Fashion Extravaganza Fashion Show hosted by Carbondale Arts, March 7-9. Watch the video of the Full 2023 Show, created by Jackalope Media.

• MAGIC THROUGH MOVEMENT:
  Since the abrupt closure of Cyclebar | Pure Barre Aspen I’m currently subbing Tuesday 8:45am Barre and Friday 8:45am spin at TAC Fitness in Willits, and am teaching a 12:15pm 30-min spin class Thursdays at the Aspen Recreation Center.

I’m a self-taught artist and illustrator.

I had stopped making art in high school when a teacher told me I wasn’t any good and should give up (the same thing happened to me in college with my dance professors).

From then on, I channeled my artistic tendencies into graphic design (and teaching fitness to fill the hole from dance), and it took me 20 years to finally miss art enough to bring it back into my life — no matter how “good” or “bad” the outside world deemed me — and create things that bring me joy.

I Make Stuff.

Wear the Fun!

While I’ve had a print-on-demand storefront on Redbubble for years, I was recently inspired to create my own mini-storefront here on my website to specifically house my latest designs. Most of my ideas come from continual experimentation and play, and these was no exception.

If you’ve followed me on Instagram over the last several months, you’ll have seen my progression from colorful digital abstract art (LOVE you, iPad and Apple Pencil and Procreate!) to adding in my own local mountain photography (currently focused on the stunning and spiritual Mount Sopris in Carbondale, Colorado).

I had the idea to print them on apparel, ordered some test products, and LOVED THEM! I hope you enjoy these bright, playful, nature-celebrating designs, too!

I’ve been a professional graphic and web designer for 25 years, so I’ve worked for and with all sorts of clients (from large corporations to government agencies to small businesses, solopreneurs, and nonprofits). I also work with all sorts of media (logos/branding, UI/UX, website design and development, event programs and signage, simple flyers and brochures, etc). You can always find my current professional resume on LinkedIn.

I’m a Pro.

Step by Step.

Your entire life is the physical expression of a certain quality of frequency. I help you build your connection to your pure core frequency through laser-focused energetic training, and embody true strength, power, and resilience.

When we work with too many outside energies or systems that pull from out to in, we can get lost. We can lose ourselves and our sense of our own source imprint.

What gets us all through our toughest times is a powerful connection to and belief in our own authority. This is what I help you create and reinforce.
