Rocky Trail Photograph

I am a rangeland science PhD candidate and a visual artist living in Ogden, Utah. I specialize in oil paintings, but also enjoy pencil drawings and photography. Recently, I have been further discovering and honing my own painting style. I am inspired most by post-impressionist and American realist frontier movements. I enjoy painting the natural beauty of the Western US. I have passions for outdoor adventure (climbing, skiing, and hunting), the ranching and agricultural lifestyle, and the conservation of our natural resources. I wish to share those passions through my artwork I specialize in oil paintings, but also enjoy pencil drawings and photography. Recently, I have been further discovering and honing my own painting style. I am influenced largely by post-impressionist and American realist frontier movements. I most enjoy paintings which depict the natural world in the Western US. Though I grew up outside Baltimore, Maryland I was fascinated with the Western US and the outdoors from a young age. I have experienced working and living on ranches in Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, and Texas. I hope my artwork can help share my experiences of this life with others.
