WHAT ROLE DOES ART PLAY IN YOUR LIFE?
I get inspired to create Western art and nature painting. It helps relieve stress in my environment.
Art- painting especially- is exciting for me. It gives me a place to use my imagination and express it on canvas. It also helps with my PTSD.
I have PTSD and painting helps calm me and its soothing to express my talents on canvas. I have 22 yrs in the Navy and Army - retired military honorable discharge. Painting helps relieve stress and makes happy.
What inspires you to create?
It’s exciting to start a new piece and rewarding watching a painting come to life with a positive result. My inspiration comes from nature, birds, wildlife, sea life, flowers and landscapes. By painting, I can take myself out of my cell and into nature and enjoy creating fish, birds, animals, and landscapes. Anything my imagination can take me to. I taught myself to paint, so far I painted 113 paintings in five years.
I love painting the beauty of birds and nature with all the vibrant colors.

I am a fan of the show Yellowstone because it represents the beauty of nature and the culture of the West that shows how this nation grew through time. It shows the character “RIP” as the ranch boss doing his job and teaching ranch hands respect. Painting #143 called “American Badass.”
