I love being in nature whether it is a hike through Texas countryside or visiting the national parks through hiking trips. I try to share the beauty and serenity that time in nature with the bold colors and the spirit of creation I witness in those peaceful walks in nature. I hope to share that spark of life and spectacle of nature in my artwork.
