I was told that a journey begins with one step…and then to take that step.

Remnants of Myth
Echoes of the American West
These paintings explore the enduring presence of animals that once defined the American West — each a remnant of a period that has largely passed from view.
Painting at monumental scale allows the subject to occupy space with the same presence it once held in the wild.
These are not illustrations of the West. They are encounters with what remains of it.
“There is something in the soul that cries out for the wild.” - Fredrick Law Olmstead
