My paintings have been featured in galleries and juried exhibitions across the country, are held in collections throughout the United States, and have received multiple awards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sqsrte-large\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eNow based in Boise, Idaho, I make paintings that hold space for both structure and possibility.
