     My interest in Art developed at an early age and has earned me a Bachelor.of Fine Arts. Today, I am producing original works from my studio in Riverton, Utah.
     My approach to painting is to suggest detail and remain vague rather than creating a literal or detailed interpretation of my subject. I like to use strong color and bold brush strokes together with the natural shapes that occur in nature
     I have spent all of my life in the great Rocky Mountains and have gained a tremendous appreciation for the vast, rugged outdoors. My research into the colorful history of the West has developed into a great interest for wildlife and the Native American.
     The proud Native American of the 1800's and the intriguing wildlife of today are my two most painted subjects.
