Even at the height of the tourist season in the Wallowa Mountains – and the tourist season is short because the high areas are accessible only during the summer and late fall months – there are not a lot of people wandering through the hills.

I am a fine art painter who creates representational images celebrating light, life, and color. A commercial illustrator for more than 20 years, I have been painting for most of my life, and in the last 18 years have focused exclusively on fine art.
