"Welcome! As one who loves the western way of life, I'd like to present to you the visions that are born in my heart and live on in my sculptures. As you view my work, you might feel the wind blowing and be chilled, the weariness of a cowboy after a long day's work, the heart-pounding experience of riding a bucking bronc or simply the tenderness of a young boy and his pony. Let your heart feel my work and let your eyes experience it. Please, come in and enjoy..."
"Ropes & Hopes, the 2007 project for the Ellensburg Rodeo at Ellensburg, Washington, is the fifth edition of my rodeo series and is being well received. This bronze portrays the winning duo Arizona header Shain Sproul and Oklahoma heeler Cory Petska. This is the largest bronze of the series, measuring 36" in length.
If you're going to central Oregon, be sure to stop in at the High Desert Museum Praegitzer Gallery in Bend. They are now representing my work as well as Soda Creek Gallery in Sisters. The superb display of art and friendly atmosphere at both galleries will assure you of a very enjoyable visit.
Another great gallery to visit is Kelly's Gallery on Main in Joseph, Oregon. My work has been a part of this gallery for a few years now and Kelly has a beautiful variety of artwork displayed there. At the foot of some breath-taking snow-capped mountains, this little village is one of the hot spots in Oregon for art lovers and outdoorsmen alike. Be sure to take a foundry tour while in Joseph, as there are four bronze foundries in the area. I recommend Joseph Bronze in Joseph or Parks Bronze in the nearby village of Enterprise.
You might have noticed a bit of a change in my web site recently. I've decided to revamp the whole site and am adding a new page, which represents my paintings. I specialize in rock paintings done on slices of various types of rocks, such as Brazilian agate. I must give a lot of praise to Dave Rutz in Brooklet, Georgia, who with his infinite wisdom of anything computer, has done all this wonderful remodeling for me. Thanks Dave!"
Please feel free to sign my guest book and let me know what you think!

There has been no news concerning the recovery of my four bronzes that were stolen from the Ambiance Gallery in Redmond, Oregon, in October 2004. I encourage anyone who acquires any of these bronzes or has seen them to contact me so that we might learn some information that could lead to the arrest of the thieves. They need to be stopped.
The four bronzes were:
