Welcome to My Online Studio

I am a Southwestern artist whose art is heavily influenced by my background. Most of my childhood was spent in the ranching and farming areas of rural Southeast Arizona. We lived out in the country, far past the end of the pavement. Watching for snakes, and living with nature was our ordinary way of life.

The incredibly beautiful landscapes surrounding us made such an impression on me that I have been trying ever since to record them to share with others. Most of my landscape paintings are done in oil paints. The animals I saw as a child, like coyotes, eagles, Sandhill cranes, and lizards, also make their way into my paintings.

These creatures also make their way into my layered paper pictures. In a more fanciful way, these pictures pay tribute to the rich variety of life and experience in the southwest. Most of the geometric designs and patterns I use are based on ancient designs from northern Europe.
