This print is 8x10 inches. Originally painted on thick watercolor paper, it was created using gouache, watercolor, colored pencil, ink and graphite.

This series of work is meant to inspire adventure, promote diversity-
and remember the precious moments of joy and peace
we've encountered while outside.

Each work, is inspired by trails I've walked myself- either on my own or with others. As mentioned in my introduction to this series, I seek to promote diversity in my work- reflecting those who are not often represented in outdoor spaces. My hope is for everyone to be able to see themselves in this collection.

'A Day Spent with Friends' is based off a hike in Colorado Springs called 'Mount Rosa'. This is a diverse trail with deep forests, rocky overlooks, and small creaks. It’s a pretty popular hike during peak season and is about 6.9 miles.

As a group, we walked through a deep wood along a certain part of the trail. One of our friends made a comment about the small evergreen trees we saw along the sides of the trail. He loved seeing the small trees growing and warned us not to disturb them because it takes such a long time for them to grow. It reminded me to be patient in seeing growth in my own life- to embrace the process by appreciating the small of change instead of impatiently waiting for the final outcome.
