Award Winning, sales on every content in the world. My first inklings as an artist were from childhood, I would make clay pots from the clay my father would remove from digging post holes. Surrounded by art of New Mexico via trips to Old Town and Santa Fe Plaza it is no wonder one born into the nature of farmlife would grow to appreciate the art all around from the sound of Cicadas to Mariachis, Dust blown devils in the wind to Paintings by R.C. Gorman, Yeah it's no wonder!
Featuring a varied body of work, themed in day of the dead all for the sake of impermanence, I also like to think of myself as a miniature carver, or a netsuke artist if you will. I enjoy the finish works of antler more than any other medium.
I won an award when I was 10 for a painting of Las Trampas Church, oils on canvas, I won the county fair and the state fair for youth art. I continued to draw and scribble for years and years, ultimately going to UNM for Architectural Drafting, Majored in Math earning a 4.0 GPA and graduating with honours. I have designed steel for Pace Iron Works, Designed homes for Stillbrooke Homes, Designed a 60thousand sq foot community center "Nature Pointe". I grew sick, literally, of the insanity of this social order. So I carve and paint.
I did my first carving in 1996 and that summer did over 500 paintings, sold everthing at the Santa Fe Flea Market, and that was it, I fell in love with creating art as a living. I
Am MADLY in love with my Wife Rose, who I am proud to call partner since 1988. We have two Boys together Lance and Kyle, 25 and 17 respectively... I plan on carving till I am gone!

There is no art without a Rose.
