Don is a self-taught artist who likes the realistic style of painting and drawing. He has become well known for his portrayal of the American west and the cowboy way of life. Don spends a great deal of time on working cattle ranches from Kansas to Arizona. It's on these ranches that he gains the knowledge and photographic references for his paintings. Many of these paintings have been reproduced on over a dozen western and bluegrass festival posters around the country. Don's work has been featured in Western Horseman, American Cowboy Magazine, Art of the West and on CowboyPoetry.com.

Don works from his home/studio located in Olathe, Kansas and he is currently represented by The Rice Gallery of Fine Art in Overland Park, KS.
