the FACES project

Each year for the past four years, I have been working on a project with the Sexual Assault Victim Advocacy Center (SAVA) called, the FACES project.

The goal of the project is to raise awareness within our community that the impact of sexual assault has on the lives of men and women who live here.

The statistics are overwhelming.

1 in 4 women and 1 in 18 men in colorado will be sexually assaulted in their lifetimes. This project helps put a face, and a story to that statistic.

For more information on how you can help raise awareness, and help put an end to sexual assault please visit: http://www.savacenter.org/. Donate money, become a volunteer, help staff the 24 hour rape crisis hotline.

Save the Poudre


I was recently invited to donate an image of mine to the Save the Poudre foundation. They are working to defeat the Northern Integrated Supply Project on the Cache la Poudre River.

This image, "Poudre Summer" will be available as a 16x20 gallery wrapped canvas giclee print.

This is a great cause, and I am happy to be a part of it. My image will be featured in their next fundraiser on April 30th.
