Howard Cook wrote in the New Mexico Quarterly Review, “Stern canyons, great mountain ranges, desert space have molded the character of this artist who is so sensitively tuned to nature’s moods, and have ultimately shaped the symbols and the manner of expressing them on canvas. He went to nature directly, spending years camping, fishing, and hunting, loving the harsh, exciting color and elemental structure of the quiet, monumental country. These experienced associations have been absorbed into his spirit, and he has painted with a touch of their precious, mystical guiding.”
