I grew up as a horse-obsessed child who drew equines monomaniacally out of unrequited love (although now I train in dressage). My imagery is a contemporary take on the wildlife, horses, and rodeo of the modern American wild west, and features representational subject matter in an abstract setting. Strongly lit, high-contrast images offer visual drama in my colorful oils and intensive scratchboards. I spend weeks every year on fieldwork, immersed in places like the wilderness areas of North America, the dusty small-town rodeos of the Rockies, and the horse scene in England. My work is featured in galleries, museum shows, and collections throughout the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Asia.
