When I arrived in Alpine in 2015, I came with a background in oil painting, mosaics and creating scenes on ceramic tiles with glazes and china paint. The art community in Alpine welcomed me and encouraged me to become a member of the BBAC and eventually a space to exhibit my art at Gallery on the Square. It did not take me long to discover the art curriculum at Sul Ross. Consequently, I studied ceramics, fused glass and took a refresher course in oil painting.

 

The breathtaking light that moves across the landscape and the magnificent wildlife and foliage, continuously excites and inspires me to capture the movement and colors of the Big Bend region. The past few years, I've added fused glass and pottery to my art creations and I experience these new medias as another form of canvas on which to create images that inspire me.

 

Being a member of the art community and exhibiting my creations at Big Bend Gallery is very rewarding. It especially pleases me when my art pieces are chosen by art patrons to grace their homes. I know they too appreciate the unique beauty that is seen and felt in our Big Bend region.
