I work in three different mediums: Oils, Pastels and Sculptures cast in bronze in a traditional realist style. My preference is for animals - horses, dogs, cats and even wild creatures and my subjects are my inspiration. They have personalities and can be gentle, arrogant, determined and warm.  I believe that they also have emotions and can reason. They protect each other and have loyal friendships; enjoy happiness and endure grief. They can convey strength, courage and a competitive spirit, as well as compassion. Convincing the viewer of these beliefs and these attributes through my art.

​

With each project, I try to determine which characteristics should be emphasized and do my best to bring those to the fore. This rationalization influences the medium that I will select; sculpture, pastels or oils.  Whenever possible I like to meet my subjects , make sketches, take reference photos and notes to retain these impression and keep them fresh. 

​

The medium selected can sometimes help better accomplish my objective, whether to capture their soul or their spirit. Each has their advantage, sculpture, oils or pastels.
