"THE MORE YOU PRACTICE THE ART OF THANKFULNESS, THE MORE YOU HAVE
TO BE THANKFUL FOR." - Norman Vincent Peale
As a photographer, my work has became a path to access a deep primal bond we share when standing eye-to-eye with a wild creature. To look into the eyes of a wild horse is to discover a story to follow that often resembles our own and brings to light the importance of preservation.
Yet, the value of these encounters extends far beyond the excitement; these animals offer us daily teachings: priceless lessons in resilience, presence, and perseverance. They serve as a powerful reminder that the world is larger than our daily lives suggest. They urge us to slow our pace, observe intentionally and honor the space and existence of our wild life.

It is always an honor when someone chooses my photographic art to adorn their home or office. There are so many great artists to choose from, that seeing my artwork hanging in an entryway, living area, bedroom, or even a bathroom is a feeling words can't express.

A couple of years ago, I wrote an article about incorporating wild horse artwork into your decor and often my collectors send me images once their art is installed. I’m amazed by how they have incorporated the pieces into their homes, offices, galleries and even barns.
As we approach Thanksgiving, I’d like to take the time to thank each of you who have chosen my photographic art to adorn your walls.
From Paso Robles to New York, from Vancouver to Jackson Hole to Rio de Janeiro, and many points in between, it has been an exciting year for shows and installations - and it has been even more fulfilling to install many pieces throughout the country and visit some of my amazing collectors in person.
I’m truly humbled by the trust you’ve placed in me - and by the fact that you have been inspired by the stories and emotion my work conveys.
I can’t express enough gratitude for you and your support!
Wishing you and your loved ones a joyful and peaceful Thanksgiving!
