I
was raised on a farm near Tipton, Kansas. As a kid, I enjoyed
drawing cartoon strips and the farm animals. Being a farm boy I
spent endless hours on a tractor doing field work to past the
time. I studied the wide open skies and the drama that the
afternoon thunderstorms would bring. That got me interested in
art, wanting to capture the drama and beauty of an afternoon
thunderstorm, racing home on the tractor before getting soaked
by rain or hit by a hail stone. 
reason I mostly paint landscapes or animals. There is so much
drama that takes place in nature that we aren’t even aware of
unless we really take notice.
