I am a modern impressionist painter known for my thick and juicy original oil paintings. With training in Russian Impressionism and Western Tonalism. I paint what I know: the land, the people, and the culture of the west, Montana in particular.

I create spaces through scope, scale, color palettes and subject matter. From the initial design process to the installation, I thrive on collaborating with my client's vision.

My work is as comfortable in a modern corporate office in LA as it is in the Billings Clinic Atrium (the largest medical center in a 3 state area). I am able to create a body of work that is both appropriate and emotional. I appreciate the subtleties.

I am best known for my Tipi and Aspen paintings. They have both become a muse, as they transcend earth and sky, touching both this world and the next. Living in Big Sky country, and specifically in eastern Montana, I experience seeing vast expanses of land framed by large, open skies. Both have influenced my artwork and worldview.

I don’t allow prints of my work. They are all original oil paintings.  My best known show and auction is the annual Charlie Russell Live Auction at Western Art Week in Great Falls, Montana. You'll find my work  in 6 national galleries, 3 museums and the White House. My artwork is owned by everyday people as well as celebrities Emmy Lou Harris, Karen Pence and Dan Rather. One of my favorite commisioned pieces is a 4 panel (each panel is 4'x 6') welcome painting at Joe Rickett's (Ameritrade/Chicago Cubs) meditation center. My work is promoted by Cowboys & Indians Magazine, Western Home Journal, Big Sky Journal, and Western Art & Architecture.
