As a young child I remember making the trip from our farm in Minnesota west to my uncle's Wyoming ranch.
The beauty of the mountains touched my soul.
The summer of 1981 found me back in Wyoming working on a ranch in Jackson Hole.
My soul is nourished by all of the unique qualities the West has to offer.
Painting is a language.
The scenery and the people I share my life with inspire me to bring the spirit of my subject to life.
Whether I am working in oil or graphite, my vision is to touch a place in the viewers world,
in their life
and just maybe in their heart.
