The mediums I work with are watercolors, acrylics and color pencils. At times, I like to mix all three mediums to complete a piece. My use of color is strong and bold. My images and subjects are interpretations of how I view my culture—my Dine (Navajo) heritage. My subjects are of the high desert Southwest landscapes and Navajo culture. I enjoy incorporating geometric designs that Navajo rug weavers are known for, as well as painting the open landscape vistas of my home area. These are just a few subjects which inspire my imagination.

I’ve studied art at the College of Eastern Utah and at Utah State University. Just short of a completing a degree in Fine Arts, I began a career as a wildland firefighter. After nine years with the U.S. Forest Service, I have now put my efforts back to into my passion and love of art.

I thank you for your time and consideration.
