Colorado River Print

In my work I strive to reflect sentiments inspired by color, texture and light. I find joy in nature's colors, lines, and forms and in man-made creations, however ordinary, that enrich nature's beauty. I gravitate towards great sweeping skies, married to slices of warm earth and distant mountains, dotted with the comfort of warm barns and farm homes. I was born in Hebron, Nebraska, and grew up in Denver, Colorado. I attended the Colorado School of Mines, then completed my education at Texas A&M University. Along the way, I made the transition from student to businessman to flight attendant and finally, artist. Blessed with wanderlust, I have visited over 40 states and almost as many countries. I prefer to work with acrylics on canvas but have studied water colors as well as oils. My technique is largely self-taught, as I have enjoyed discovering different mediums and approaches over the last 20 years. I have received instruction at The Art Center of South Florida and the Art Students League of Denver.
