Points of View

I am engaged in the local art scene as a consumer. My husband, son and I love all art forms and we regularly enjoy our wonderful, local museums—both big and small.

It’s an honor to be a part of Denver’s leading arts foundation. I’m excited to support the important work of advancing the arts, inspiring creative leadership, and creating a more vibrant Denver.
