But it wasn’t until a couple of years ago when I quit teaching that I was able to dedicate myself full-time to the pursuit of creating, showing and selling my artwork.
What are your biggest inspirations?
Inspiration is for amateurs! Just kidding! No, really, I do believe that my studio practice of just showing up every day and doing the work of making art is as inspiring as going to museums and looking at art, whether it’s old or new art.

Westword made it easy for us to check out the best of the best that the arts have to offer in Denver. Westword hosted their 19th annual Artopia on Saturday night, February 22, at five different locations along Broadway’s club strip: Vinyl, City Hall, Salty Dog, Bar Standard and the Living Room.
