As a contemporary Western artist living in the heart of Arizona, my work offers a unique perspective on the American West. Arizona’s striking landscape, with its vast deserts, rugged mountains, and dramatic skies, serves as both a muse and backdrop for my artistic journey. The natural beauty and stark contrasts of this region inspire my exploration of color and form, allowing me to create pieces that express the essence of the West as I see it through my eyes.
My artistic practice is deeply rooted in the diverse culture and history of the Southwest. I draw inspiration from the traditions of the indigenous people and early settlers, that founded the modern west, weaving these narratives into my work. By blending classical techniques with innovative approaches, I strive to create a dialogue between the past and present, honoring the enduring spirit of the wild west in a contemporary manner.
My choice in medium, oil paint, stems from its rich history and the workability of the vibrant pigments. Each painting is an exploration of the emotional attachment I have to the American West which are crafted to evoke a visceral response within the viewer. My goal is to provoke thought and introspection, inviting the viewer to engage with the complex and harsh nature of the Western experience. Through my art, I hope to inspire a deeper connection to the land and its people, fostering a greater appreciation for the beautiful resilience it takes for life to thrive in such an unforgiving climate.
