"Deep In The City" uses modern setting and characters to retell the familiar and favorite story of "Goldilocks and The Three Bears." Rather than a fantasy tale of a little girl lost in the woods who finds porridge and beds who belong to bears, we have Kaitlyn and her family who live in a condo in the middle of a big city. They go out for a morning stroll while a young visitor, Sandy, visits their home after entering through an unlocked door. The events that follow parallel the familiar story with a surprise ending.

Wyoming is my home. I am grateful to have lived here most of my life. Before I joined the Marine Corps in 2001, I loved Wyoming. Returning home after my commitment to the Marines, I appreciated it even more. Sure, I like to visit all sorts of other places in the world, but Wyoming is the land that I love. I have always enjoyed drawing and painting. My career in art began when I graduated high school and went into the Marine Corps as a Combat Illustrator. After 4 years of service in the Corps, I went to college at Black Hills State University in Spearfish SD for a Bachelor's of Science in Art and Communication Art with a minor in Photography. I have been painting full-time since graduation from college in 2009. I enjoy the outdoors, hunting and fishing. This is where I experience most of the things I paint. I try my best to accurately reflect the beauty that God created around me. My best work, I believe, is when I can do just that: reflect the work of God's hand. It's my goal to progress with quality and achievements. I am a member of the Society of Animal Artists where my art has been in the Rocky Mountain Animal Artists show and the Art and the Animal Tour. I was blessed to be chosen to have my art on the 2012 National Wild Turkey Stamp and have received 3rd at Wyoming's Conservation stamp competition. I also strive to be a part of the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation Art program, Birds in Art, The Wyoming Conservation Stamp, The Federal Duck Stamp and many others.... Those goals are for tomorrow, I don't know what will happen tomorrow, I do know that I am blessed today. Lord willing, I will be able to continue to paint in the years to come. Stay tuned.....
