About the artwork: This common Utah scene of green sage, oxidized red earth, and billowy clouds is one that I will never tire of. A desert child from birth, familiarity did not bread contempt. The scent of sage and iron-stained rocks paired with a rainstorm has yet to have a candle made for it.
About the artist: There was no shortage of inspiration growing up in the wilds of San Juan County, Utah. The sublime sandstone canyons, rich in iron, hardship, and old ghosts have shaped my artistic sensibilities. Although I occasionally foray into other geographies for subject matter, this high desert is my greatest love.
After receiving a degree in painting and drawing at the University of Utah, my focus is mainly on contemporary landscapes, but also on still life and figures, which helps to reset my brain. My interpretation of the world around me is not meant to replicate, but to express a vibe or a feeling. My work is biographical, based on nostalgia, storytelling, and remembrance.
