​I have been dabbling in drawing and painting since 1996.  

I had all these graphic ideas in my head so I began taking classes at the local community college to see if I could learn how to put them into form.

It has been a fun journey so far and I find it a healthy activity to balance with my career as a horse trainer and riding instructor.

Thus far, I have worked in charcoal, pencil, pastel and watercolor.  Finding the time and the discipline to work and play with art is the biggest challenge for me currently.

When I do take the time to practice art, I love the moments when the art seems to come through me, as if I am merely the conduit to a deeper level of expression and connection.  It is the same idea of “throughness” I seek when I ride horses but the feelings and expressions are different.
