About the Artist
Plant lover and fellow gardener, here!
My favorite flower is the Mexican sunflower (Tithonia rotundifolia),
but the plant that I am most dedicated to
is the Cannabis sativa plant.
Why you ask?
Simple! The humble hemp plant has so much to offer, but most people have no idea of its' potential! My mission is to get more images
of this superpower plant interspersed into everyday life
so that we can foster
faster adoption and innovation.
That's why I create mixed media collages, paintings, hemp inspired products, and artistic dolls, to help spark the hemp conversation and keep it top of mind.
I'm also a hemp farmer now. Self-liberation from the office came in April 2020, as my neglected studio full of collected art supplies, fabrics, and paints demanded, "Now is the time".
Let me tell you, I am thrilled to be pushing soil and pushing paint, instead of a timeclock!

Our hemp and zinnia field from summer 2021 in Boulder County. I planted every seed by hand. The hemp seed came from our 2014 crop, both growing years were registered with Colorado's Department of Agriculture.
