I am a professional artist based in Northwestern Montana. I work in two completely different ends of the spectrum; representational and fantasy. My subjects are varied, ranging from country and lakeshore landscapes to dog portraiture, from illustrative whimsical animals to bison in the wild.

MY BIO //
I have been an artist my whole life. At a young age I would draw every day for hours. I experimented with pencil, charcoal, pen and ink and finally developed a passion for oil painting. I pursed my artistic passion through art classes in school and commercial art classes in high school where everything changed. After receiving a A.A.S. in Commercial Art from Ferris State University, my career took me from newspaper editorial illustration, to design agencies and eventually to owner and creative director of a successful marketing communications firm in Michigan, from which I retired. My wife and I moved to Montana where I began my latest career in Bigfork, designing full-time for an award-winning creative firm. In my spare time, I work in my home studio putting brush to canvas using the beauty that surrounds me for creative inspiration.
