As a fifth generation Montanan, I have called Montana the crown of all places- but beauty is everywhere if you're looking. It's a Joy to paint and i look for any subject matter that tells a good story. Painting, like music, theater, writing, and film; is about giving the viewer a lasting gift. I hope my paintings do that throughout my career.
I've done the gallery route- several, as a professional painter for over a decade, had some group and solo shows, etc., been published in feature articles and Southwest Art's 21 under 31.
Currently i market through Ebay. Good work always finds a home.

My process of doing paintings usually starts from doing small to medium field studies on location. When the subject calls for it, i'll take to the studio to do a larger work from the outdoor studies and photographs. I like to drive and travel looking for landscapes to paint. I have great memories of painting the East and West coasts, Europe, Canada, Mexico, Guatemala, and especially my home state. My dad was a cartoonist and currently a writer. My mom paints with me as well from time to time, rain or shine.
I attended art school in Morelos, Mexico as a foriegn exchange student my junior year. After high school i attended fine art study at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY on scholarship, then served four years in the Navy during Desert Shield/Storm.
Most of my painting education, however, comes from the raw landscape, failed efforts and generous artists/mentors who were able to critique and encourage me. I learn more everytime i go out, gifts to my heart, again and again.
My bride, kids and i spend most of our time between Townsend, Helena and Red Lodge.
I love my Creator and Savior, albeit imperfectly, and grateful to Him for making me a beauty maker/story teller.
Every artist borrows or steals from Him, whether they realize it or not.
Thank You for considering the work of my hands, and Best to you,
