“The American West is both real and mythic history. It’s really a very small slice of time…bounded on one end by the arrival of the horse (brought by the Spaniards) and the arrival of the automobile. Yet it has extraordinary power over us.

I have the chance to portray the peoples and their cultures set against backgrounds of astonishing and unforgiving beauty. I truly love making these paintings.”
