Autumn Reflection at Maroon Lake
This landscape is inspired by an amazing backpacking trip in the Maroon Bells Wilderness back in 2013. The Four Pass Loop starts and finishes at this location. It is incredible! You know if you’ve been here.
Mountain West
Bear Witness
This bear is s a metaphor that shows the reality and the danger of forest fires which the Mountain West faces every summer. The wildlife lives in that fragile landscape and has to find their way out when they are faced with the flames and the smoke of their habitat burning away.
Painting After 12 Years
I have not painted since 2006. Recently I’ve been inspired by watching my life and creative partner Kyle Cunniff work his magic with the paintbrush. You can see Kyle’s work on his Instagram account KyleCunniffArt https://www.instagram.com/kylecunniffart/ The painting was inspired by my trips to Glacier National Park in Montana.

Chromatic Spring

Teton Mountains
In 2013 my partner Kyle and I ventured on an epic trip to Wyoming. For about 10 days we explored Yellowstone National Park as well as Teton National Park. We only had 3 days in the Tetons but we made the most of it. We backpacked Cascade/Paintbrush Canyons and did a few other day hikes ...
