The natural beauty of woodburning enhances the rustic, earthy appearance of the Native American and western art that I create with my burnings. 

I lived in New Mexico for several years and developed a love for the Native American art and western culture which is evident in my work.  You can almost feel the works come alive as you look at them. 

I design  my Native American pieces from a variety of sources including my extensive library of photos taken while living in New Mexico attending pow wows and traveling to different pueblo's as well as historical books on the subject.

"Chief Joseph"

Chief of the Nez Perce

I did a lot of research and worked with several reference photos of the Chief.  In my research I discovered that all of his photos as an elder showed marked evidence of changes in the right side of his face including the oval shape of the iris & pupil, drooping of his cheek, mouth and chin.  I wanted this burning to be lifelike so I captured his face as it was at this time in his life.  The original photo was taken from the Edward S. Curtis Collection (now in public domain) the Library of Congress and I have made some "artistic" changes in the process of the burning.
