The Gallery

Every day it seems, we turn on our media and see pain and strife and ugliness. But that is not the world which we were given. The world we were given is actually extraordinarily ordered and beautiful. My job as an artist is to continually help illuminate that.

After the Wildfire

The East Troublesome Wildfire that ripped through my home and our community in October of 2020 left scars on both the people and the land. But resilience of the human spirit is inspiring and the rejuvenesence of the land creates a new beauty all its own. This painting is an homage to my fellow "recoverers" and a reminder of the beautiful future. Nature finds a way.

Coming To Grain

My brother Bill is a horse trainer and for a time was involve in breeding Pryor Mountain Mustangs and preserving their unique genetic identity. These mustangs were at my brother's property in Missouri and coming to grain when I captured this reference photo. Yes, I know Pryor Mountain mustangs live along the Wyoming/Montana border, but I wanted a quiet intimacy in this scene - a small herd of horses, at ease, moving together through a golden field, their coats catching the warm summer light against a serene backdrop of rolling green hills.
