Bud is a self-taught artist whose representational oils focus principally on western subjects. These include landscapes, wildlife, ranch animals and figurative subjects. This emphasis reflects a life-long interest in the region and can be summed up by the view "There is no other place like The Great American West."
His work has been included in numerous local, regional and nationally juried shows, and is in corporate and private collections nationwide.
Generally, Bud declines to interpret or comment in detail on his work. He rests on the belief that each piece stands on its own, and reserves final judgment for the viewer.
