'Star Gazer', oil on canvas, 30 x 30 inches.

'My work has been categorized as Contemporary Western. Traditional and well honored western subject matter with a different perspective and expressive interpretation. Using a more graphic approach to composition and design that comes from my illustration background I try to describe the intensity of the west as it was lived in the past and still is today by a select few weathered souls. Portraying the animals that still grace our western states and those that care for them. So many people are not aware that this life exists. Nor is there an understanding of how integral and important it is to their own lives.'
