ABOUT
Having spent my life immersed in the cultural iconography of the American West—across Eastern Washington, Montana, and Arizona—my artistic practice is deeply shaped by this lived experience.
My work serves as a visual inquiry into the region’s enduring ethos and complex identities, engaging with historical narratives and contemporary realities that continue to shape this space. Through a combination of graphic line work, patterned motifs, and a dynamic color palette, I construct compositions that evoke and interrogate the mythos of the West—from Native American heritage to the archetypal cowboy—within a 21st-century framework.
My female figures embody resilience and empowerment, while my male subjects act as conduits of historical continuity within a modern narrative. Through strong profiles and evocative imagery, my work endeavors to preserve and invigorate the mythic spirit of the West.
ARTIST STATEMENT
I consider myself a hybrid painter. My work reflects the multifaceted Americana landscape through the intersection of culture and history. I stylistically paint in smooth, even textures, taking a linear and figurative approach to perspective. Inspired by the beauty and symbolic thread of connection as those in stained glass, I mend stories at the seams in bold lines that unite fragments of an imaginary narrative. Often, I choose to paint bodies faceless; questioning and opening up the possibilities of identity. Architecturally, passages are binary, purposefully leaving the viewer to question. Finding elements from the many places I’ve lived, in the Northwest, Southwest and South, I identify and find harmony in my experiences as I explore human connections in an ever changing landscape of a modern timeline.
