The artist studied art at the university of Wyoming ,and the Rocky Mountain School of Art and Design in Denver colorado. He is a firm believer that all great artists are self taught. A thousand decisions made while painting ,and with a daily practice, and a love of hard work. Alone in the studio, and daily practice, with a deep faith in the creative process, matters the most to the life as an artist. One life to live so little time, get it done!
