About Me

I am a cowboy at heart. No, I didn't grow up on a ranch, but the quality of life and living in cooperation with nature appeal to me as an artist.

Often, I use paintings I created to produce digital prints derived from those images. You'll find many on this site and on Artpal, my print companion site.

I am fiercely independent, I paint, write and make things with my hands. My 3D art is an example of this.

I can be funny, brash, occasionally insulting and uncommonly focused on raising spiritual and intellectual consciousness. I love dogs and children at times and take great joy in every aspect of life as a creator.

I paint the American West not in the sense of traditional "western" but portray the West as it is. I refer to this as "Contemporary County". Places rich in heritage and close to nature are disappearing as we transition rapidly toward the future, discarding the past as we go and rarely learning from it. Components of these older eras are a terrific source of inspiration to draw from in ways that are creative, pleasing to the eye and insightful.

"I decided some time ago that the world was my audience and the internet my gallery. My interest is in calling attention to the older eras that made us what we are today. Items from earlier eras were made to stand the test of time and they truly have done just that. Older ways of doing things also teach great lessons that can't be learned any other way.”

I am an award-winning artist who has exhibited in several galleries and numerous shows throughout the West. I have won many awards over the years, most recently 3rd place in the distinguished Newport Beach Art Show with "Serenity Beach". My artwork hangs in homes in several countries and many states and has won the praise of many fans.

Memorable art can make a house a home. My hope is that you'll consider my art when looking for something you'll treasure for years to come.
