I create realistic western and wildlife works in graphite pencil and oil paint to portray a story full of emotion and desire. The romance of American Western art stirs a palette of emotions as expansive as the fantastic landscapes that it reflects.  It portrays the grit and hard work required of cowboys and cowgirls, as well as the splendor of God's creations. The wildlife pieces reflect the fascinating world of animals within their natural environment.  My artistic passion drives my intricate approach to portraying reality as accurately and authentically as possible.  I invite you to the animal world with an expressive color balance and natural portrayal of light.  The details and accurate proportions reflect reality and achieve a natural sense of depth and space. The details of my subjects and their natural environments invite my viewers to become part of the story. 

These scenes stir passion, love, joy, and respect within the viewer's soul. My understanding of the subject matter allows me to create pieces that capture viewers' attention and guide their eyes through the story. I feel an emotional appreciation for the outdoors and the animals that call it their home. I admire and respect those people who thrive in this same environment. The drawings and paintings stimulate a strong desire for adventure and excitement, leaving the viewer craving more.
