I am a native Utah artist who began painting in oils at the age of 4 years. My brushes were 'hand-me-downs' from my older brother and sister. About 20 years ago I switched to pencil and watercolors. I am fascinated by old, weathered items, especially structures and old vehicles. I also enjoy painting about our heritage in the West and about the animals who are a part of this heritage. My technique is mostly dry-brush and I lean towards impressionism, but feel that a horse should look like a horse. I am STILL a Software Developer by day (maybe I can stop with the overtime and a real website will follow soon).
A year ago I took a workshop with Spike Ress in Parowan Utah and tried oils again. I am hooked, so am creating many of my works in oils, both in my studio and plein air.
Our art celebrates the old West and memories from the recent past. |
