MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR
I'm a Colorado native, artist, mentor , educator, and photographer who finds meaning in telling stories through visuals. I founded and own a small community art center in Colorado Springs called Shutter and Strum.
Creating is how I process the world—whether it's capturing a quiet moment with my camera or expressing emotion through paint and texture. My work is deeply personal, often inspired by real-life experiences, people, and the beauty found in everyday moments. Art isn’t just what I do—it’s how I connect, heal, and grow.
