Western Art And Illustration
A Brush With History.
From my earliest years, I have been drawn to depicting historical scenes — starting with cowboys and Native Americans, then branching out to mountain men, airplanes, and hot cars. My other passion began when I started skiing at age 6 in the shadow of Sun Valley's Bald Mountain. These dreams eventually merged into my reality, blending a lifestyle among high mountains, deep powder, wildlife, and the cowboys and Native Americans of Idaho. My interests are diverse, driving me to delve into research and hone my technical skills with the brush, all with the aim of creating timeless images.
Wings To Space
The Air Force Museum is the largest air museum in the world of airplanes, missiles, and aviation exhibitions, since the Wright Brothers to the present.
The Air Force Museum lies in the northwestern portion of the old Wright Field within three miles of Huffman Prairie where the Wright Brothers developed the art of controlled flight in 1904 and 1905.

A Local Connection
Brigadier General Charles “Chuck” Elwood Yeager
In my art career spanning over 50 years, I have created 21 paintings for the U.S. Air Force Art History program. One of those paintings represent General Chuck Yeager and another of my uncle Lieutenant Joe Sara.
Brigadier General Chuck Yeager passed away on December 7, 2020 in Los Angeles at age 97. Born February 13, 1923 and joined the United States Army Air Force in 1941 as a private serving as an aircraft mechanic. In September 1942 he entered pilot training at Luke Field, Arizona.
My uncle, Lt Joe Sara, at that time, was the youngest graduate from Luke field, giant army air force advanced training base at Phoenix. Joe Sara, born in Hailey, Idaho on November 15, 1923, was also enlisted in the same pilot training squadron Class 43C graduating on March 10,1943 at Luke Field. Lt. Chuck Yeager was assigned to the 357th Fighter Group at Tonapah, Nevada, and Lt. Joe Sara was assigned to fly the P-38 F model Lightning at Muroc Field, Victorville, CA. Lt. Sara was killed when the powerful P-38 F model fighter crashed in a formation landing at the Muroc “dry lake” target range on Tuesday, the 13th of April, 1943. He was the youngest lieutenant to be graduated at Luke field and the first fatality from Blaine County in World War II.

Hollywood Park
The End Of An Era
Commemorating The 75 Years Of Hollywood Park Racetrack
Hollywood Race Track was opened on June 10, 1938. Hollywood Park was closed from 1942 to 1944 due to World War II, where it was used as a storage facility for North American Aviation.
In 1949 the grandstand burned down and reopened in 1950. The track was demolished in stages from 2014 until 2016 and is a master planned development for SoFi Stadium, home of the LA Rams and the LA Chargers and a 6,000 seat performance arts venue, the Hollywood Park Casino and the NFL Media building.
The graves of horses buried at the track such as Native Dancer, Lanadalace, Great Communicator and their monuments were moved to other tracks in the area.

High Country Monarchs
Oreamnos amerianus dwells in the loftiest ranges from Alaska along the Rockies through Canada into nine western states. These mountain goats exist on higher and steeper terrain than any other large mammal on this continent. They represent complete mountaineers surviving on sustenance above tree line often buried by snow for eight months, whipped by gale-force winds and drifts over 30 feet deep combined with temperatures minus 50 degrees (F).
One of Idaho’s most unique and beautiful animals is preserved in this limited edition print. With the purchase of a monarch print, 10% of this print will be contributed to research for the Idaho Department of Fish and Game.
