"I am part of the Western Heritage I celebrate in my realistic paintings. My experiences growing up and living on the ranch allow me to use the gifts God has given me. Through these gifts I authentically convey the complexity and the honor of the partnership between ranchers, the land and the animals he gave them to steward. Each day is a gift that I treasure as I strive to capture those special, but otherwise missed moments of ranch life, moments that poignantly highlight the struggle for the tenuous and beautiful balance that we call life."​
