“My place is in the West, and I am always inspired by my surroundings.”

More than 30 years ago in reflecting of my love of our beautiful Southwest, I decided to begin a visual portrayal of scenes that I’ve been fascinated with my whole life.
This lead me to begin my artists journey. I am so fortunate to be involved in the ranching industry and live on a beautiful ranch NW of Prescott as well as a location here in Wickenburg, where we enjoy the winter here. I have such an opportunity for references and subject matter, right out my door.
I enjoy creating these scenes of our everyday life and hopefully give others a peek into our corner of the world. My place is in the West, and I am always inspired by my surroundings. I give thanks to our Creator who makes all things possible.
