Color Pencil Landscapes
Vibrant, ultra-realistic images in color pencil. I apply 3-5 layers of Prisma color pencil on 100% rag paper. My landscapes are saturated with intense color and depth. Even the white of clouds is full of 3 layers of color.

I create bold bright paintings of the southwest, in particular work of aspen groves in all sizes, from quite small to over 8 feet tall. I have been recognized by the New Mexico Women in the Arts along with numerous other awards.I create bold bright paintings of the southwest, in particular work of aspen groves in all sizes, from quite small to over 8 feet tall.

Landscapes and the details of architecture and classic cars present the most interest to me. Finding the everyday element that anyone can look at but few see is the continual challenge, and the most gratifying moments are when others experience that ‘Aha’ moment of seeing through my lens of life.

The Taos Arts Council works to promote awareness, understanding and appreciation of all of the creative arts, literary, visual, textile, musical, performance etc. and to be an advocate for the artist/artisans and arts organizations in Taos County and Northern New Mexico.
About the Taos Arts Council
The Taos Arts Council was founded in 2012 with the vision to create a central hub in support of the Arts and Artists Community in Taos, Taos County and Northern New Mexico.
Towards that longstanding goal, the TAC has been actively working towards defining its positioning in relation with the other entities and initiatives currently in Taos — such as the Town of Taos, The Taos Business Consortium, Art Space, Mainstreet, Strong at Heart and similar such government or grassroots organizations.
The stated approach for the Taos Arts Council is to support all constructive dialogue and action between organizations and individuals that is mutually beneficial to all involved.

“I found out that the sunshine in New Mexico could do almost anything with one: make one well if one felt ill, or change a dark mood and lighten it. It entered into one’s deepest places and melted the thick, slow densities. It made one feel good. That is, alive.”
