Description:

Art is the ballast of my life that steadies the dynamics of daily existence in the modern world. To move or to be moved is to live . . . To sense the calf shadowed by a bush, to see the movement of a spring breeze or to feel the warmth of the sun on a clear fall day presents half the equation while communicating those feelings completes it.

I am a chronicler of stories, of the simple life in the rural American west. The stories surface through the hand pulled prints, original oil paintings and functional art I create. It’s a form of visual prose that speaks of my experiences as a steward of the land and livestock that we share our life with – with this dialogue I like to build relationships that yield understanding.

Art enriches the lives of all people. My hope is that by sharing my stories, they can become my customers’ stories.
