Seeking subjects and ideas that interest me, I work primarily in oil paint on wood panels or papers that have been coated with gesso. Other materials I enjoy using include soft pastels, charcoal, acrylics and inks. I also design and hand-pull multiple color serigraphs.
Central Montana's high prairie sky and landscape fascinates me as it never appears constant but is always in a state of change. Clouds, wind, prairie and wide vistas are my favorite subjects. Stormy skies are especially interesting to me. Black Angus cattle are the dominate livestock here and I often include them not only because they seem to appear everywhere but also because they provide scale to the expansive landscape.
Although I've focused on sky and landscape for the several years, I do work with other subjects, including the human figure, wildlife and domestic cats (especially black cats.)
I also create public art, usually in the form of large-scale mural work, both interior and exterior. One of the largest, more unusual mural surfaces I've painted on was the concave interior of an orchestra-sized outdoor band shell in Helena, Montana.
