Aspen Portal
If I could sit anywhere, it would be in an aspen grove—any season, any time. This particular grove is an imagined place, woven together from the many public lands where I’ve spent time: the Wind River Wilderness of Wyoming, the Flat Tops of Colorado, and New Mexico’s Carson National Forest. It reflects how deeply connected and boundaryless the Rocky Mountains are.
My Portal Series explores the idea of natural spaces as sanctuaries—both for people and for the unique ecologies they hold. Just as the arched doorways of Gothic churches were designed to inspire reverence, these landscapes act as thresholds—places that invite presence, stillness, and a deeper connection to place.
Each painting invites you to pause, step into the scene, and reflect on your relationship with the natural world. Their purpose is to invite contemplation and be gently returned to yourself, and to your why— to reconnect with the beautiful fragility of the ecology of our brief time on the planet.
