My work comes from a life spent on rivers.  For two decades I guided fly fishing and whitewater rafting between Colorado, Patagonia, the Amazon, and the Himalayan foothills.  During my free time, I studied plant medicine in the Amazon.  

In 2017, after a series of close encounters with wild tigers, I started teaching myself to draw and paint.  While I’m mostly self-taught, I have also studied with a Japanese ink painter and a traditional jungle painter.  

I paint with a bold palette to express my love for the Earth.
