My Home Is In the Mountains, oil on canvas, 12 x 9 in, 2014.

A view of Sequoia National Park from Highway 198, which runs through my hometown of Three Rivers, CA. While I was born in Montana and have lived in the mountains of Idaho, the Sierra Nevadas and Sequoia National Park still feel like home. Every time I visit, it’s like I can drive the roads or wander the rivers with my eyes closed. A core part of my heart lies here, in these mountains.
