Northern RockiesLayer-cake mountains spotted with snow, aromatic pine forests and swirling clouds invite us into the heart of North America. I've been to Yellowstone National Park in winter, availed myself of the Alpine Club of Canada's superlative hut system and been Artist in Residence in Glacier National Park. Work here involves hiking, dealing with rain and wind and finding a comfortable place to sit. Painting in the Northern Rockies isn't easy, but it is always rewarding…Canadian Rockies and Columbia MountainsMuch of the artwork on this page is available for puchase. Email me for details. |

Glacier National Park Artist-in-ResidenceThis park is a superb reservoir of wilderness remaining in Montana's Northern Rocky Mountains. These mountains still have grizzly bears, wolves, and, for a little while longer glaciers. For two weeks in 2001 I lived in a handsome cabin on the shores of Lake McDonald. Nearly every day I drove the steep, narrow Going-to-the-Sun-Road to paint up near Logan Pass (6650 ft. elevation) amid mountain goats and marmots. Glacier remains memorable for its insistent rhythms of the layers of its sedimentary rocks-- the patterns sweep from mountain to mountain in characteristic bands. |
