My background in art began by taking classes in high
school. About 10 years ago I started making wood
carvings of moose, bear, eagles, fish and bison.

I use acrylic paint for the main medium and highlight the
painting with a woodburning technique. My passion is
painting animals and wildlife. I devote time to each piece,
striving to make it as realistic as possible. Quality
additions, such as glass eyes, are often used to achieve
this realistic approach.

Yellowstone National Park has always been an inspiration
for my art.

I create wood carvings as well as wildlife paintings on
reclaimed wood. Reclaimed wood is my main focus, as it
gives me the freedom to create pieces on different kinds
of wood.

The wood that I use enhances my artwork with a rustic
appearance. The natural wood creates a unique look that
makes each piece unique and beautiful.
