I came to visit Aspen with girlgriend from Vanderbilt our Freshman year and spent all my time thinking about how to move here from that magical visit onward. After a few summers here including 1991, I moved here full time in 1997. I came for the winter and actually still stay for the winter! I fell in love with skiing and the mountains from the moment I met them!
I started painting butterflies in 2008 when I showed them during Art Basel Miami at Bridge Miami. Can you believe I am still painting them and still fascinated by the magical realities they contain. From biomimicry and design in the v-shaped structure of their black wings, to their expression of metamorphosis, the coexistence of fragility and strength and the power of nature— they are the perfect muse. I also have a passion for trees as they are the true respiratory organ for our planet. These recent works focus on my love of water; its healing properties and power. I am striving to capture the grace of the ephemeral. I aim with color and gesture to convey the beauty I find in accepting the possibility of stability within life and time’s transitory bounds. Like the Heisenberg principle, it is impossible to quantify concretely what is constantly in motion, flowing and evolving.
The Meadows for everything from lectures to Platos to the tennis courts to a great steam and a quick walk to the music tent!
