My philosophy of painting is simply to convey to others through my paintings the abundant natural beauty of New Mexico and the emotional attachment I feel for our state.  

 

I travel throughout New Mexico in search of landscapes that conjure up many images of old adobes, rusting trucks, and breathtaking bluffs and mesas.  I am in constant search of lush trees and grasses and settings of ancient farm equipment casting shadow in the sun. 

​

I don’t have any philosophy about painting.  I simply want somebody to enjoy what I’ve seen and painted.  I like to describe myself as a romantic realist landscape artist.  My architectural background influences my desire to capture the light and shadow of the subject.

​

My work is found in many collections, both private and corporate, throughout the United States.  I also routinely exhibit my painting in galleries in New Mexico, Colorado and West Texas.
