I've had a lifelong love affair with art and beasts.  I grew up immersed in the wilds of the Pacific NW under the guidance of my Father, whom I considered a modern day Mountain Man, leading our family on adventures and teaching us a reverence for nature. 

Fun loving, bold, honest and energetic are the qualities I endeavor to bring to my art. My constant goal is to honor the animal I am painting in the manner it deserves; to elevate it's position beyond a mere critter into a spectacular creation of Mother Nature.

I constantly push myself in playful discovery, continuing to elevate my art and have it be meaningful, not just to me, but to others...to strike a chord of significance. Recently I've become increasingly concerned about the dire state of our natural world and what the wild creatures endure. My current body of work is a reflection upon this situation and my way of honoring my subjects, these denizens of the wild I call Vanishing Nations.
