Wildlife has been a constant thread throughout my life: starting mainly from early childhood in Montana, and currently now, in Arizona.  I remember numerous walks with my Parents & Grandparents during dusk and spotting deer. It wasn't uncommon to find bear tracks in the snow around the house. Horses were always around, & were easy to bond with. All these creatures are social, vibrant, carefree, peaceful - each with their own distinctive personalities.  They have a bold honesty I find captivating. It's my wish that the viewer not just see a painting; but a living, breathing animal staring back from the canvas. It's my humble way of respecting & thanking their Creator. There is joy in sharing their story".
