The Spirit of the Wild-In the Company of Bison and Other Wild Hearts

Wildlife stirs something ancient in me. It’s where my landscape training meets beating hearts — where light, weather, and instinct align in a single breath. Every encounter sends my pulse racing with gratitude, whether it’s the silent grace of a fox or the thunderous power of my favorite subject — the bison. These aren’t just photographs; they’re stories of resilience, connection, and soul.

If one speaks to you, I’d be honored to turn it into your dream wildlife wall art. All images are available for purchase — just reach out and we’ll bring the wild into your space.

This powerful bull elk stands among the late-autumn grasses of Yellowstone, wearing the thick, rugged coat that carries him through the long northern winter. His towering antlers, etched with a season’s worth of battles and displays, rise like a crown against the muted golds of the landscape. Paused in a quiet moment, he embodies the strength, resilience, and wild spirit of the American West — a reminder that even in stillness, nature tells its own story.
