“The Approaching Storm” oil on panel, 24″ x 18″
Painting the American West, equestrian life, and portraiture has never been a choice for me. It is a calling woven into my very being, the breath I take, and the rhythm of my heart.
“Waitin’” oil, 20″ x 26″
From the time I first held a brush as a child, my style emerged as a natural extension of my hand, evolving into a voice uniquely my own. My work is a dialogue between tradition and spirit, where each canvas honors not only the subject before me, but also the timeless beauty and resilience of the world they inhabit.
“Cowboys & Coors” oil on panel 26″ x 20″
I am a realist oil painter committed to portraying subjects with detail, authenticity, and spirit. My work is rooted in careful observation—listening beyond what is seen to capture the atmosphere, emotion, and story within each moment.
“Pickin’ Up the Kak” oil on panel, 24″ x 36″
For me, painting is more than a representation. It is a way of honoring the narrative that shapes who we are. My purpose is to create visual stories that invite the viewer into an authentic experience where history, memory, and feeling converge.
“Cromed Out Cat, Beechfork Ranch” oil on panel, 18″ x 26″
At the heart of my practice lies a devotion to the American West. Its landscapes, people, and traditions embody resilience and passion. These are qualities I strive to preserve in every brushstroke. My goal is to speak to the spirit of the West and to create a lasting testament to its perseverance and enduring legacy.
“Learning to Lead, Beechfork Ranch” oil on panel, 30″ x 65″
I continue to be commissioned by private collectors and ranches throughout the West. I currently serve as the appointed artist for Breeders Invitational, one of the nation’s premier cutting horse organizations.
“Hand Tooled” oil on panel, 24″ x 36″
My work has received national recognition, with features in Western Art Collector and Southwest Art magazines. It has also appeared on the critically acclaimed FX mini-series Reservation Dogs.
“Today’s Ranchers” oil, 16″ x 20″
Each painting serves as both a visual narrative and a tribute. My work honors the enduring relationship between people, their horses, and the land they call home.
