Artist Statement Art has always been my passion, art with details that I feel are only possible with a pencil, details that create work that sometimes looks photographic. These details help me capture the feelings and emotions of the subjects, whether the subject is human or animal. My work leans heavily to western subjects either present day or historical because even though I will never have the opportunity to be one, my heroes have always been OLD cowboys.
