As a fourth-generation native of Northeastern Arizona, I am deeply connected to the rich heritage and mystical beauty of my homeland, which serves as the inspiration for my art. Through my drawings and paintings, I aim to share the beauty of the Western landscapes, featuring horses, wildlife, farms, and ranches. The color of the skies and the lights in nature draw me to particular scenes, while my deep affinity for animals fuels my inspiration. My technique as a self-taught, traditional painter allows me to capture the details of my subjects, using a variety of mediums and layering to develop my paintings. I aim to draw the viewer into an unexpected emotion, leaving them with a sense of peace and a feeling of shared history. Ultimately, my art is a reflection of my desire to protect and preserve the natural beauty and historic places of my homeland for future generations.
