Statement
I am an artist based in Fort Scott, KS, who specializes in pastel artwork. My work heavily focuses on realism, which is my main aesthetic focus. I am self taught using pastels since the early 2000’s, my earlier works were pencil works. Pastels I feel are able to provide a rich color to my works without loosing my love of “ drawing “. Western scenes and portraits are of particular interest to me and my pieces often reflect the depth and beauty of the region, and beyond. I strive to capture “ moments “ in time and to share those with others. A unique perspective, like sitting on a special horse watching the sunrise, or a peaceful stream from my childhood. My pieces often offer a glimpse of the life, culture and people of the Midwest region, but also the Pacific Northwest where I was born and raised. Through my pastel artwork, I seek to bring my experiences to life and to explore the beauty that the west has to offer through the landscape and rural life around me.
