Mixed Media

Obtained my BFA from Idaho State University, my MFA from the University of Idaho. Specialize in intaglio etching (and other printmaking), mixed media, artist books, and infrared photography. Interested in possibly doing some illustration work for print (books, etc).

Much of my work is large and medium scale urban equestrian paintings, "Urban Equines". By that I mean the energy, beauty, and both modern and classic equine form expressed in purely contemporary terms. My pieces are at home in both formal collections as well as the large-scale spaces of modern design. I create a line of purely abstract paintings. My signature style, composed of dynamic lines, bold colors, and the emotional energetic sparked by the element of the formless, appear here as well. I am seduced by the subtle nuances of abstraction that evoke  feeling. ► MORE ABOUT THIS ARTIST

I am currently working in the home interiors field; creating murals, custom finishes, and custom art-pieces. I strive to creative with unique materials & techniques in all the work I do.
