Artist's Statement

A quote from Grant Wood describes a condition from which he and many of us suffer: taking too much for granted. Wood said, "...To my great joy, I discovered that in the very commonplace, in my native surroundings, were decorative adventures and that my only difficulty had been in taking them too much for granted." Woods' words ring with truth. My goal as an artist is to capture the wonder of the often overlooked ordinary, the commonplace beauty around us, those little details that make all the difference in our daily lives. The rough hue of rocks, lush blue woodlands, weathered wood grains, and distant meandering dirt roads never cease to appeal to me. I attempt to share the beauty from which routine blinds us. My work can be purchased on ebay or by contacting me personally.

Distant Tetons 8x10 $ 60.00

Seeing the Grand Tetons in the distance is an unimaginable scene that many artists have attempted to capture, an impossible feat. Such incredible beauty is beyond human depiction. Last summer, this view treated my friends and I each morning while parked in this location. Taking this view for granted seems impossible, but I suppose there are those who do.
