It is the love for the Southwest that I started painting.   It is the people and thier lives. Be it their pottery, their animals , heritage or the faces that show the past and future.  I was born in El Paso to parents born in New Mexico and thier parents that broke the ground of the West.

The spirit of those people sent me on my way to explore other places and people.  From our great country, to Africa the Massi, elephants, tigers and monkeys,  Europe and it's people, the Caribbean birds and Howler Monkeys at night, watching Polar Bear in the Hudson Bay. On trains, sail boats, ships and by foot.

It is this spirit of the West that always brings me back home

Then I can't wait to put these on canvas hoping that others might enjoy the feeling I got seeing all these great things in our world
