Brief:
I embraced my artistic spirit early in life and first began painting with
oils as a twelve year old. I openly acknowledge that a passion for art
and a part time job at a small pottery were what got me through high
school. Those same artistic tendencies eventually led to a BFA cum
laude from Northern Arizona University with a painting emphasis and
K-12 art teaching credentials.
Influenced by many masters, mentors and schools of art and guided
by my years of teaching experience I try to maintain a beginner's mind
and heart. I've adopted a motto from Michelangelo, "Ancora Imparo" or
"I am still learning" and I try to live by a Buddhist saying I once read,
"In experts' minds there are few possibilities in a beginners' endless."
Statement:
Beauty and the search for it are what motivate me as an artist. I get
completely immersed in nature and loose all track of time. When I am
viewing or attempting to capture a view that inspires me the hours slip
away like a stream. Having and spending the time to look, to be
present when beauty reveals itself, is one of my greatest fortunes and
a privilege few are allowed. In return for that privilege I try to create art
that reflects my reverence for nature and in that way share what I love
most.
Always drawn to dramatic skies and intense contrast I can also
appreciate the calming nature of more pastoral scenes. The quiet
calm of nature is a balm for the hurried life. Ultimately the process and
products of my art come down to my unquenchable thirst for beauty
and an enduring quest for glimpses of the sublime.
In that quest I have sipped from sweet perennial springs as well as
brackish mosquito infested seeps. I've climbed and sat atop towering
red rock spires, scaled jagged alpine peaks and scrambled into and
squeezed through breathtaking narrows. I've navigated dry and flooded
creek-beds, floated meandering rivers, rafted boulder strewn rapids
and kayaked glass smooth and storm tossed seas. I've slept so many
nights outside I no longer count them and I am still in perpetual awe.

"A man's work is nothing but this slow trek to rediscover,
through the detours of art, those two or three simple
images in whose presence his heart first opened."
