Feeding Off the Roads Less Traveled - Paintings are born where life has slowed to a snails pace. A measure of comfort comes from the predictability of a line of weathered fence posts, one after another standing strong representing generations of my past.  

Being able to explore the land, meet the people and experience the daily “grind” that instilled determination, courage and perseverance into past generations brings me fulfillment . This is what I seek to express through my artwork.

My passion for the land can be seen through a strong, richly colored palette which unites the mountains, valleys and all that the land gives life. Coming from generations of farmers for whom land is sacred, my need to be one with the land runs deep.

My desire is to share the elegance of living a life through the simplest of pleasures. I take notice of the “weed” flowers, intense color of the sky and the mountainside breezes that kiss my face as I gaze into the distance. Simplicity is anything but ordinary: it can be exceptional as it brings heart-warming calmness which is expressed in my work.  My hope is that my work brings you the same tranquility in your life.
