My paintings are who I am - sometimes who I wish I
could be. Art is my way of escaping life for a little
while to be in a place where I have a little more
control.

A great deal of my work is inspired by the farm and
ranch lifestyle I grew up in.   Horses and Cowgirls are
my true love, but any kind of life interests me,
especially life from the farm.

Today it seems that most people are in such a hurry.
There are way too many things to keep us
entertained. Everybody wants a bigger house or a
faster car, and kids just want the next video game.
My paintings are my way of showing how great
things can be without all that.
