Living in Montana for most of my life has allowed me to nurture a deep love for this special place, and the animals that inhabit it. The colors I choose are dictated by emotion and feel, and the connection that I experience with my subject matter, as each painting unfolds. I strive to reinvent myself with each painting, and choose pure color to convey emotion and provoke thought. I choose to paint the animals that I do, as my way of honoring them.
