My paintings are just my response to the inspirational world in which we live!
As long as I can remember, drawing and painting were my preferred mediums and method for exploring, understanding, and communicating what was interesting and inspiring to me at any given time in my life. Being born in Montana, it is no surprise that many of my canvases are filled with the images of the people, animals, and wild spaces of this beautiful state. To add a little variety to the painting journal of my life, I spent 5 inspiring years in the beautiful country of Italy. Graduating a little bit from my Charlie Russel upbringing in Montana, I was able to see the works of some of the most famous and influential artists in the history of art in Italy and other parts of Europe. But as they say, one always seems to gravitate back to the place where the heart and artistic spirit are most at home, and Montana is it for me!
