About The Artwork

Tyler: I wonder why it was that long ago. I became a watcher of things. Always watching others do and feel things I wouldn't or couldn't do myself. Always standing off at a distance. Isolated, detached. I envy the wolves for how they experience the world. Always in such direct contact with their environment, traveling through their territories. Alert and attuned to all the signs coming in through their senses, telling them where a rabbit recently passed or the sweet water lay, revealing a whole universe to them that we can never really know. But I sit behind glass lenses, filling up notebooks and triplicate forms, trying to capture the wolves within the pages of my journal. And what'll be done with the study when I'm finished? Once these wolves have been exposed to my world...what will happen to them? Old Inuit Song: I think over again my small adventures. My fears, those small ones that seemed so big. For all the vital things I had to get and to reach. And yet there is only one great thing. The only thing. To live to see the great day that dawns, and the light that fills the world. Tyler: There's a strange wolf that I only see fleetingly. He must be part of the pack, but an outsider, always following at a distance. Perhaps, another watcher. from ‘Never Cry Wolf’ (1983) Starring Oscar Wallace (Tales from the Crypt: Half-Way Horrible), Zachary Ittimangnaq, Samson Jorah (The Sniper from Saving Private Ryan’s The Snow Walker), Martha Ittimangnaq, Walker Stuart (Lord of the Flies ’90), Hugh Webster (Coburn’s Mr. Patman), Tom Dahlgren (The Godfather Part Deux), and Big Tommy Boy (“That's just great, Colonel. You came out here to find out why one of your machines blew a gasket!”). Screenplay by Curtis Hanson (8 Mile), Sam Hamm (“Where does he get those wonderful toys?”), and Richard Letter (The Man Who Fell to Earth ’87). Directed by Carroll Ballard (Rogue’s Fly Away Home). Based on the book by Farley Mowat (Farmer Hoggett’s Snow Walker).

I’m (I am?) a self-taught artist, originally from the north suburbs of Chicago (also known as John Hughes' America). Born in 1984, I started painting in 2017 and began to take it somewhat seriously in 2019. I currently reside in rural Montana and live a secluded life with my three dogs - Pebbles (a.k.a. Jaws, Brandy, Fang), Bam Bam (a.k.a. Scrat, Dinki-Di, Trash Panda, Dug), and Mystique (a.k.a. Lady), and five cats - Burglekutt (a.k.a. Ghostmouse Makah), Vohnkar! (a.k.a. Storm Shadow, Grogu), Falkor (a.k.a. Moro, The Mummy's Kryptonite, Wendigo, BFC), Nibbler (a.k.a. Cobblepot), and Meegosh (a.k.a. Lenny). Part of the preface to the 'Complete Works of Emily Dickinson helps sum me up as a person and an artist: "The verses of Emily Dickinson belong emphatically to what Emerson long since called ‘the Poetry of the Portfolio,’ something produced absolutely without the thought of publication, and solely by way of expression of the writer's own mind. Such verse must inevitably forfeit whatever advantage lies in the discipline of public criticism and the enforced conformity to accepted ways. On the other hand, it may often gain something through the habit of freedom and unconventional utterance of daring thoughts. In the case of the present author, there was no choice in the matter; she must write thus, or not at all. A recluse by temperament and habit, literally spending years without settling her foot beyond the doorstep, and many more years during which her walks were strictly limited to her father's grounds, she habitually concealed her mind, like her person, from all but a few friends; and it was with great difficulty that she was persuaded to print during her lifetime, three or four poems. Yet she wrote verses in great abundance; and though brought curiosity indifferent to all conventional rules, had yet a rigorous literary standard of her own, and often altered a word many times to suit an ear which had its own tenacious fastidiousness." -Thomas Wentworth Higginson "Not bad... you say this is your first lesson?" "Yes, but my father was an *art collector*, so…"
