Who am I?
I’m a plein air watercolor artist, illustrator, and retired veteran living on the traditional lands of the Kalapuya, the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians, the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde, and the Atfalati.
My awe and appreciation of the outdoors also started at an early age and continued to grow as I worked in numerous outdoor environments during my 20-year military career. This is where I learned how to keep myself safe in any environment and found a passion for education and development.
After retirement, I searched to find a new calling that would combine my love of the outdoors, storytelling, and education with creative inspiration. During the pandemic, I saw that people had the need to connect with the outdoors but lacked many of the principles needed to be safe.
I decided to help educate artists on how to combine stewardship, the principles of Leave No Trace, and their creativity to go out and use nature for inspiration while keeping themselves and nature safe.
