My featured painting: Summer Fires
The Rocky Mountains are a place of health, grounding and connection to the land. For many, the Rocky Mountains are home. When I hike the mountains in the summer I feel the vibrancy and nourishment of the environment. But in summer 2017 many of my hikes were cancelled due to forest fire evacuations and air quality warnings. It was terrifying to watch helplessly as wildfires seared so much of the land. My wish is to inspire awareness of the increasing danger of forest fires due to global warming so that generations after mine can still enjoy these magnificent mountains.
