Artist's Statement

I have specialized in art of the West and Southwest for over 25 years. Originally trained as an illustrator/graphic designer, I incorporate the skills learned at Chicago's American Academy of Art and the Art Institute into my work. All of my paintings are done in gouache or casein, the line drawings are done in india ink. My subject matter can be divided into four categories: Native American, Western – which includes horses, cowboys and images of the Old West, Southwest and Wildlife.

"Children of the Prairie"

Gouache

This painting illustrates how 1800's young Native American people would dress. The boy wears a traditional trade blanket breechcloth, buckskin leggings and moccasins. The girl wears a dark blue trade cloth dress with bright colored bands and moccasins. Their somber expressions reflect the plight of the Indian people in the late 19th century.

Dimensions: 22H"x 15W"

"Patterns in the Taos Sun"

Gouache

My love of the colors and textures of the Southwest is reflected in this painting. While walking through the Taos pueblo in New Mexico I spotted this piece of pottery sitting on a ledge. The symmetry of design and rich earth tone colors mirror the lines created by nature as well as the architecture of the Southwest.

Dimensions: 24H"x 18W"

$1,550 framed
