Western

From Water to Western...it's how we flow.

My artistic goal has always been for my art to be an expression that, hopefully, invokes emotion within the viewer. I believe that it is up to me, as an artist, to delve beyond just recognizing colors to using colors for their inherent qualities, towards a specific end. I choose colors – sometimes only black and white – to produce a certain mood or atmosphere; to create space, light, and shadow; or to introduce symbolic associations.
 
When you explore how color is used in works of art from different historical periods, you see that there is a great use to create meaning; tell a story; inspire faith; direct the viewer’s eye;
or express emotion. A collection can be created around so many passions, interests, and pursuits.
Cowboy art and, more broadly,art themed around the American West, is filled with an excitement within its adventurous spirit capturing the imagination. With each piece, my goal is to reach into historic Americana recreating images that inspire thoughts of the amazing times in the past and what remains of the Old West today.
I strive to transport cowboy art and the art of the West into the contemporary arena, with images that reference cowboy art in the here and now.
I do this with God’s direction.

Western art is my first love being from Texas. it has a very unique set of collectors and is rooted in a very distinct culture that shares a great deal of history across the country. The bulk of this collection will be on exhibit in January of 2021 at the THE NAVE MUSEUM OF ART in Victoria, Texas and a few pieces will be scattered over the Lone Star State and on into New Mexico.

Please email me any questions or interests and thank you!
