I quit being an Architect/City Planner in 1994, a few years after my family farm was lost in the farm crisis. At that time I began portraying my endangered Agrarians in paintings and bronze sculpture.

Later, as Curator of Bone Creek Museum of Agrarian Art, I set our mission: To be the National Center for preserving, viewing, and learning about exceptional Agrarian Art. I present and write about major Agrarian artists whose work is about fields, or lands, or their tenure. An Agrarian is somewhere between an Industrialist and an Environmentalist. Having been an inner city resident for most of my life, I find that Agrarian art helps urbanites understand how our changing care of the land affects our health, our spirit, and our culture.

I’ve won national juried prizes and shown in invitational museum exhibitions such as Gilcrease Museum and Butler Institute of American Art. Solo museum exhibitions include Great Plains Art Museum. My work is in major collections and in books and magazines. American Artist featured my work in “Realism Today”, Special Issue, “a lasting record of the most significant work created by realist artists at the beginning of the 21st century”. I’m a Master Pastelist, Mid-American Pastel Society, and a Signature Member of American Plains Artists and Pastel Society of America. My full biographical listing is in Who’s Who in American Art.
