For those interested in my background:

I've never really seen myself as an “artist type” - whatever that is. But I’ve loved the outdoors and the colors, lighting and patterns in nature for as long as I can remember.

Like so many artists, I started drawing as a young boy as I was growing up in Missouri. I followed the illustration work of my father's boyhood friend Charles Schwartz in the Missouri Conservationist magazine, and I loved the work of Norman Rockwell and tried to emulate it. But as a teenager and into adulthood, the more I developed my skills, the more I was drawn to the Wild West. I dreamed of painting like the great Carl Rungius or sculpting like Frederic Remington—my childhood heroes.

While my own “Rungius-quality” masterpiece still eludes me, I haven’t given up on the pursuit. These days, as I’ve gotten older, my purpose has simplified: I paint so that people can reconnect with nature, discover (or rediscover) the naturalist within, and bring a piece of this beautiful, magical world back home with them.
