The Canyon Remembers
24” x 36”
$3,000.00
Oil on stretched canvas (gallery-wrapped, 2 inch depth)
Custom White Oak Frame
Morning light illuminates the walls of Reflection Canyon in this scene. The journey to reach this incredible location involves a several hour drive down a bumpy road in Utah’s Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, followed by a 16 mile hike through the vast desert.
There is a stillness here that feels almost sacred. The walls seem to echo with whispers of the past. I found myself picturing the canyon walls as they endured ages of transformation, long before the canyon was flooded to create Lake Powell. I ruminated on the massive and irreversible man-made changes that have happened here over such a short time.
These thoughts feel even more relevant now that an executive order has reduced the size of Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument by about 90%. I am heartbroken to think that so much of this rare and precious land is no longer protected. I can only hope that the desert will continue to weather the changes to come, and someday, when we are long gone, maybe the canyon will remember.

Sawtooth Sanctuary
36” x 48”
$5,700.00
Oil on stretched canvas (gallery-wrapped, 2 inch depth)
Custom Black Walnut Frame
Sawtooth Sanctuary was inspired by a moment of peace during a solo hiking trip through the jaw-dropping Idaho Sawtooth Mountains. After weathering a heavy rainstorm, the clouds parted, and sunlight poured into the landscape. Bird song echoed all around me, and wildflowers shimmered with jeweled droplets of rain. The landscape was filled with quiet abundance, renewed by the storm and overflowing with life.
I imagined the wildlife, like this mother black bear and her two cubs, wandering peacefully through the meadow before me. The painting eventually came to life over the course of a year, as a reminder of the vitality that these mountains hold.

Valley of Giants
24” x 24”
$2,100.00
Oil on stretched canvas (gallery-wrapped, 2 inch depth)
Custom White Oak Frame
Valley of Giants depicts a landscape that feels older than memory. As the setting sun ignites the sandstone monoliths in a warm glow, the towering formations seem to awaken, standing as silent guardians that have watched over this land for millennia.
Monument Valley is a place that seems to carry the weight of time. It was home to the ancestral Pueblo people, followed by the Navajo people, or Diné. This is a sacred place, where the silence of the desert is filled with echoes of those who came before.

Moonrise over the Great Sand Dunes
36” x 36”
$4,400.00
Oil on stretched canvas (gallery-wrapped, 2 inch depth)
Custom Black Walnut Frame
Great Sand Dunes National Park is unlike any other landscape in Colorado. Here, the tallest dunes in North America rise in graceful curves beneath the towering Sangre de Cristo Mountains, surrounded by windswept grasslands. The dunes are a living fossil, born from the sediments of a great lake that once filled the San Luis Valley. What remains is a landscape shaped by water, wind, and the passage of time.
I chose to capture this remarkable place during the fleeting moments of golden hour, as the landscape bathes in glowing light, and the moon begins its quiet ascent into the evening sky. A herd of wild horses roams across the scene, inspired by the untamed horses of the San Luis Valley. Their presence echoes the wild and resilient spirit of the land itself.

Sunrise in Paradise
48” x 36”
SOLD
Oil on stretched canvas (gallery-wrapped, 2 inch depth)
Custom Black Walnut frame
Sunrise in Paradise is a love letter to one of my favorite places in Colorado. This scene captures the first few moments of morning light on Mt. Sneffels, with Lower Blue Lake catching a hint of the alpenglow reflection below.
When I first visited this breathtaking location, I was completely captivated by the vibrant turquoise water, the endless fields of wildflowers bursting with life and color, and the soaring peaks. I was filled with an overwhelming sense of artistic inspiration, and dreamed about this painting for almost five years before bringing it to life.
Among the Wildflowers
18” x 24”
SOLD
Oil on stretched canvas (gallery-wrapped, 1 inch depth)
Custom Black Walnut Frame
Among the Wildflowers is inspired by summertime in the mountains. Every year I dream of adventures among the fields of paintbrush, lupine, and columbine. This painting depicts my favorite wildflower. It stole my heart from the first time I saw it as a young child in the Colorado mountains. I love the way the bright scarlet petals seem to glow in the sun, and as an artist, I’ve always had a soft spot for the name, “paintbrush”.
High Country Wanderer
30” x 40”
SOLD
Oil on stretched canvas (gallery-wrapped, 2 inch depth)
High Country Wanderer depicts a solitary bull moose high in the Colorado Rocky Mountains, bathed in the light of a vibrant sunset. This piece was inspired by an accumulation of experiences over many years spent exploring the Rockies, including breathtaking moose encounters and the indescribable feeling of standing in the glow of a high alpine sunset. The fleeting moments of light and vibrant color, the sense of solitude within a vast wilderness… these are the truly magical moments that gave life to this painting.
Corona Arch
16” x 20”
SOLD
Oil on stretched canvas (gallery-wrapped, 2 inch depth)
This piece started as a plein air painting at the stunning Corona Arch in Moab, Utah. After a beautiful day of painting on-site, I brought this piece back to the studio and completed it over several sessions.
I have been mesmerized by Moab’s red rocks from the moment I first saw them. Walking among the towering cliffs and arches feels like being on another planet. I love the warm orange glow that appears on the underside of the rocks, and this feature is what inspired me to paint this scene.
The Matriarch
36” x 48”
SOLD
Oil on stretched canvas (gallery-wrapped, 2 inch depth)
The Matriarch depicts Grizzly 399, the iconic mother bear who roamed the Yellowstone and Grand Teton range for 28 years. Grizzly 399, affectionately known as Queen of the Tetons, was the oldest known reproducing bear in the region. Her story was one of resilience and maternal devotion. She was known and loved by many.
I was inspired to create this painting after Grizzly 399’s tragic death in October of 2024. This scene is how I like to picture her now: in the peaceful stillness of the early morning light, surrounded by her cubs.
Grizzly 399 continues to be remembered and cherished. She was an ambassador of her species, and her life and death inspired us to protect the wildlife of this region and preserve their fragile habitat. Her spirit and her legacy live on.
Teton Autumn Glow
36” x 60”
SOLD
Oil on stretched canvas (gallery-wrapped, 2 inch depth)
Teton Autumn Glow was inspired by several trips to the Tetons over multiple seasons. These mountains exude rugged power that is somehow perfectly balanced by a sense of peace and tranquility. They are truly awe-inspiring, and on each journey through them, I found myself equally captivated by the landscape and the wildlife that call these mountains home.
This piece depicts the Jackson elk herd in the fall rutting season, as the herd makes its migration down to lower elevations for the winter. A large, bugling bull elk is the focal point of this scene, alight in the warm glow of sunset.
Thundering Herd
54” x 96”
SOLD
Oil on stretched canvas (gallery-wrapped, 2 inch depth)
This commission painting is all about dynamic movement, with dust flying, storm clouds rolling in the distance, and powerful animals thundering relentlessly toward the viewer. At 8 feet in length, Thundering Herd is the largest oil painting I have ever created. It was so large that the bison felt almost life-sized as the painting came to life. It was a monumental project that led to immense personal growth, and changed my perspective as an artist, sparking my passion for painting western wildlife on a large scale. It was the commission of my dreams, and I am so honored to have had the opportunity to create this piece for a wonderful collector.
King of the San Juans
48” x 72”
SOLD
Oil on stretched canvas (gallery-wrapped, 2 inch depth)
Colorado’s San Juan mountains are some of the most spectacular peaks I have ever seen. They are steep, dramatic, and magnificent. King of the San Juans is an ode to an experience I had there a few years ago. It was early in the morning in late September, and the mountains were blanketed in tapestries of golden aspen trees. It was still and quiet, until a solitary elk bugle echoed across the landscape. The sound was musical, mournful, powerful, and truly difficult to describe in words. This painting is how I pictured that bull elk- proud and regal, calling out across the land.
Face the Storm
36” x 60”
SOLD
Oil on stretched canvas (gallery-wrapped, 2 inch depth)
This commissioned piece was inspired by a symbolic story about a storm that overcomes a herd of bison and a herd of cattle. The cattle, sensing the oncoming storm, tried to run from it. Inevitably, the storm caught the herd, and as they continued to try to escape, they unknowingly prolonged their suffering in the heart of the blizzard. The bison, on the other hand, faced the storm head-on and charged through it, reaching safety on the other side. It’s a metaphor with many lessons to teach us about facing and overcoming adversity.
It was a privilege to work with the commissioner of this piece to craft a composition to depict this story. I wanted to create a chaotic atmosphere of whipping wind and heavy snow fall, highlighting the resilience and strength of the bison.
