I’m excited to be participating in Estes Valley Plein Air 2026, a juried plein air painting event in Estes Park, Colorado, where artists paint on location throughout the Estes Valley and surrounding mountain landscape, including areas near Rocky Mountain National Park. It’s a wonderful event for collectors and visitors to see freshly created plein air work inspired by the Colorado Rockies.
