I’m excited to share some good news. My work is now represented by Cassens Fine Art Gallery in Hamilton, Montana.
This is one of those moments that feels both grounding and energizing at the same time. Grounding because Cassens Fine Art is deeply connected to place, community, and craft. Energizing because it opens the door for my pastel landscapes to live in a region that understands mountains, rivers, and quiet spaces in a very real way.
If you’ve spent time in western Montana, you know exactly what I mean.
About Cassens Fine Art Gallery
Cassens Fine Art Gallery is located in Hamilton, Montana, right in the heart of the Bitterroot Valley. The gallery is known for representing accomplished artists whose work is rooted in the landscape and culture of the American West. Their focus is not trends or quick impressions, but work that holds up over time and carries a strong sense of place.
The gallery represents painters, sculptors, and fine craftsmen from across the region, with an emphasis on quality, authenticity, and artistic voice. Cassens has built a reputation as one of Montana’s respected fine art galleries by curating work that speaks to collectors who value craftsmanship and connection over flash.

Why This Partnership Matters to Me
I paint landscapes because I spend time in them. Rivers, valleys, tree lines, and mountain light are not abstract ideas for me. They are places I’ve stood, places that slowed me down, places that stayed with me long after I left.
Cassens Fine Art understands that way of working. The gallery serves collectors who don’t just want art that looks like nature, but art that feels like it came from time spent paying attention. That alignment matters.
There is something meaningful about having my pastel paintings represented in Montana. The landscapes I paint are often shaped by similar rhythms. Big skies. Moving water. Quiet transitions of light. This partnership feels less like a business decision and more like a natural extension of the work itself.
Pastel Landscape Paintings at Cassens Fine Art
Pastel is a medium built on pure pigment, immediacy, and light. It allows me to capture atmosphere and subtle color shifts in a way that feels honest and direct. When collectors see pastel work in person, they often comment on the glow and surface texture, things that are hard to fully experience online.
Having my work available at Cassens Fine Art means collectors can see these paintings in person, properly framed, and in a space designed for looking slowly. That experience matters.

Collecting Art in Hamilton, Montana
Hamilton has become an important destination for art collectors who appreciate western landscapes and thoughtful craftsmanship. With its proximity to the Bitterroot Mountains and the surrounding rivers and valleys, it makes sense. The land itself shapes the kind of art that feels at home there.
Cassens Fine Art plays a key role in that ecosystem by connecting collectors with artists whose work reflects the character of the region. I’m honored to be part of that group and grateful for the opportunity to share my work with collectors in Montana and beyond.
Visit Cassens Fine Art Gallery
If you’re in western Montana, I highly recommend visiting Cassens Fine Art Gallery in Hamilton. Seeing art in person is always different. The scale, the surface, the way light interacts with the work all come together in a way that screens simply can’t replicate.
Whether you’re a long-time collector or just beginning to explore fine art, Cassens Fine Art is a gallery worth spending time in.
I’m thankful for this new chapter and excited to see where it leads.
