Statement from the Artist

I'm a watercolorist and graphite artist originally from a ranch in Wyoming. I've spent a lot of time photographing and painting the familiar things around me, including my children. Much of the wildlife I love so much was actually in my 'backyard', which included deer in my rosebushes! My art career was out on hold for many years while I raised four boys, but that was an advantage in itself. In fact, I used my youngest son, Tyler, for a model so often that he would sigh, stick out his hand and say, "Only if you pay me, mom!" Art is a personal thing in a way. It's an expression in itself of what the artist feels and believes, but it becomes a public expression, a celebration of life when it is finished and the artist allows the world to share the view. Imagine a world without art; I can't. I currently live in S. D. near the Pine Ridge Indian reservation and continue to paint western life as I love to see it.
