Artist Statement
"My Contemporary Western Expressionist paintings are based on my love of the West. My Dad exposed me to the great outdoors, instilling a love of the land and wide open skies. My Mom influenced my love of art and culture." I grew up riding horses, and animals in nature are my passion. My paintings are done in bold brushstrokes and highly charged colors. I use a varied and distinct palette to build up layers and define the shapes and markings of the animals I paint. In doing so, I strive to capture their essence and energy."
