A gun powder powered rifle with a fixed bayonet. The strap is made of leather and is secured at two points- on just before the tip of the rifle and the other just after the trigger.
The stock is made of wood and highly polished. After each use, the barrel must be cleaned of excess powder.
I'm an artist working in Colorado. I prefer mediums that allow me be as tonal or as structed as I please. The landscape provides countless joys for me as I attempt to understand its patterns. In 2009, I graduated from the Maryland Institute, College of Art in Baltimore, MD with a Bachelor of Fine Arts with an emphasis on Drawing. Here, I created works that appeared in the 2008 issue of Drawing Magazine. While attending Colorado State University, I taught Painting, Figure Painting, and Principles of Design as a Graduate Instructor. I graduated with a Master of Fine Arts degree in Painting in 2014. Since then, I have worked to be a part of the artist community of Northern Colorado. I was one of the first members of the Gallery 970 Co-op in Loveland. I am a member of the Northern Colorado Artist Community in LaPorte where I am active as an instructor. View more posts
