Artist Statement: I work in 35 mm, medium format and digital, creating images using only natural light. I enjoy capturing the dusty excitement of local rodeos,life of Basque sheepherders, nature's unexpected beauty in the lines, patterns and shadows of this rugged land, and the flowers that offset the harshness. I try to show the beauty of western life around us, helping all of us to see its truth before it is gone. Equally important is how I display my work. I do my own custom matting and hand-craft many of my frames to create a unique, artist presentation.
