I've been an artist for more than 45 years. I was born and raised in the western US, and my art is focused on the lifestyles, landscapes, elements, and wildlife of that area. I enjoy drawing, oil painting, and silversmithing jewelry. It is my heart's desire to share my passion for the serene vistas, dramatic scenes, and the noble beauty of the animals that compose this part of creation's masterpiece. My lifelong mission is to inspire that passion in those to view my artwork.
