Artist's Statement

After a long career in the biotech field I discovered painting and have been fortunate enough to make that my second career. I prefer painting oils on canvas and find it both relaxing and exhilarating.

As a fifth generation native Montanan, I am drawn, artistically, more and more to that pioneer heritage and way of life. I now focus mainly on western art, obtaining most of my subject matter and inspiration from frequent trips back to my home state. I find great pleasure in depicting simple scenes from a small country rodeo or the daily chores of farming and ranching. My paintings are my homage to my family and the history they have given me.

"Takin' Five"

Oil on canvas

Two young cowboys,waiting to ride at a small country rodeo, were taking a break out by the barns. Though they looked to be only in their late teens, and might be secretly nervous, they displayed the quiet confidence of those who try their luck on the backs of broncs and bulls.

"Pick Me Up at Eight"

Oil on canvas

As fun as it is to watch a rodeo from the grandstand, the action viewed from the fence behind the arena is even more intense and exciting. So close and at ground level, the action and sounds are intense, with hooves pounding and the dirt flying. After the first eight seconds, there must be that "now what?" moment when the prospect of the dismount looms. Only two options now...one airborne and provided by the beast below and the other a recue by the ever-present pickup man.

Dimensions: 22"H x 28"W
