"I am inspired by the challenging geologic forms and vibrant colors of the Moab area, this is where the earth speaks most clearly to me. Nature's forces and rhythms, and the power of wind, rock, and water create monuments that are a tribute to the amazing beauty and grandness of nature... this truly humbles me. I now realize that I can't hope to duplicate nature, I can only strive to use paint and pastel in a pleasing and personal way... and using pastels to depict sandstone seems the perfect match of technique to topic."

He received his Master of Fine Arts degree from Idaho State University and is currently represented by the Tara James Gallery and Piccolo Gallery in Pocatello, Idaho.

Artist Statement
This may be too confessional (?), but there are times when all the universe feels alive, and radiant, and connected, & it’s as if you’re looking out at the world and seeing nothing but innards. Then there are those other times… when you feel like an outsider right in the middle of it all. Or trapped in an eerily empty universe. Somehow my work is born from, and shaped by, the struggle of dealing with these two seemingly contradictory experiences. As well as the impulse to fill up space with something to make sense of it all.
