I paint places I'd want to live, somewhere happy; a universe devoid of the ugliness of this one, in the beauty of unspoiled Nature.

I enjoy creating oil paintings on canvas. The worlds I can create are limited only by my imagination; the places to find peace and calm in a world of chaos are what I favor when it comes to my paintings. We all need to find the beautify and serenity in Nature, stay within her majestic splendor and appreciate that we are part of this world instead of destroying it. I paint the places that represent that ideal: calm, splendor, peace, beauty, and majesty.
Where do you find inspiration?I'm inspired by the grandeur of Nature herself. Here in North Dakota, the Badlands National Park are a perfect landscape to inspire all kinds of emotions, especially when you know the history of the area. I take my kids on walks through Nature and we talk about that specific area, then get creative with "what if" questions, and what could have shaped the Earth there in that very spot.
What would you do with $25,000?In all honsety, pay off my debts and set myself up on a better path to build a better future for my children. Other parts of the money will go towards building up my business to expound on the prize, to enable me to leave my night job and create full-time.
