Painting The The Spirit of the West In Color, Light and Motion
Paintings inspired by the Western lifestyle - created to capture the essence of a single moment. From horses and cowboys to wide-open Western landscapes, each piece is painted with an eye for expression, movement, and atmosphere.
“I watched cutting horses in action and felt the challenge in sculpting one without a rider, showing their natural instinct and to capture the raw talent and amazing athletic skills of the cutting horse!.”
