Art to me is an expression of my daily life experiences. You may find me on a mountain top in Alaska painting in a snow storm, flying in a helicopter to a glacier in March to paint extreme views, or in a spawning cove sketching and filming black bears in the summer. In Montana, my home is near the Metcalf Wildlife Refuge embraced by the Bitterroot mountains. Old buildings, churches, water reflections and cattails full of birds, movement and color inspire many paintings. Wherever it may be, I have to live my work to do it.

The body of my works are expressions of events, themes, and personal relationships with man, animal, and nature.

You never really get where you want to be – art is an evolving process – a never ending struggle to be free to express one’s self … learning shapes, colors, and essences of thing which can be explored a million ways.
