Create on location paintings of Rural America from Utah to Maine everyday for thirty days!
Raised in an artist's family, I knew from the time I was eight years old that I would do the same. Since I grew up in rural southeastern Idaho and fell in love with the surrounding landscape, it seemed only natural to choose this subject to paint. My genres typically range from farms and farm animals, quiet meadows, country churches, mountain scenes and Americana in general. This trip across America will be the catalyst for my One Man Show at the Springville Museum of Art in September 2015.
