-= Artist Biography =- For many years I bred and trained performance quarter horses, loving every minute of the long hours, hard work and dedication it required. It brought life into perspective and I will forever cherish those years as they were very special to me. As long as I can remember I have had the desire and need to draw, paint and create what I saw and felt capturing the moment forever. As a self taught artist I have learned a lot over the years and formed my own techniques and style of interperation, which has allowed me to share what I've seen and felt with other. I have also been a participating artist in the Calgary Stampede's Western Art Showcase for the past four years and received the prestegious Gallery's Choice Award in 2008 for my artwork entiled "Moonlight Thunder". I believe the biggest compliment any artist can received is to touch the heart and mind of the viewer and be able to bring tears or laughter having an impact on their emotions, that shows that what I felt and tried to portray was achieved in my painting. I feel there is really no right or wrong to art, it is an interpertration of feelings and a very meaningful experience for the creating artist and the viewer. Artist |
A Canadian artist, and Alberta being called home, I was raised on a farm and spent the majority of my life living in the country. At an early age animals, art, and the western lifestyle was a dominant love in my life and still is to this day.
