Cowboy

It is my pleasure to be painting cowboy and western art. I love west Texas, and
southwestern Fort Worth is a wonderful place to experience the Texas cowboy. Texas
offers an endless supply of inspiration for cowboy art. Within miles of us there are horse and
cattle ranches, stables, windmills, bluebonnets, fantastic scenery, incredible sunsets, great
rodeos with practicing cowboys, and the historic Fort Worth Stockyards.

I have been painting western art since 2003. I particularly like to paint the western locations
that I have visited and scenes from my favorite western movies. An early art teacher told me
to always paint subjects that I enjoy and my art would be satisfying. So what you see here
represents my enjoyment of the western experience.

My biggest inspiration comes from the natural beauty we have
all around us in West Texas. It is my goal to capture the spirit
and beauty of the west as it might have been 150 years ago.
Frederick Remington and Charles Russell are two of my
favorite artists. I hope that my art will continue to improve
and inspire.

Thank you for taking the time to enjoy my art with me.
