The demand for goods along The New Santa Fe Trail created new means to transport them more economically and faster. Congress came up with the idea of using trains to establish a transcontinental railroad to supply goods and people to the west. In 1862 the Central Pacific Railroad began building east from the California territory and the Union Pacific began building west from Omaha in 1864. That was the beginning of the end of the use of the trail and the end of Indian culture. The trail provided new means of transportation, new inventions, new economic opportunities and fueled the expansion of the white America’s “Manifest Destiny” and it was over in 1880 when the railroad arrived in Santa Fe. The Indians succumbed to white progress, losing their lands, tribes, culture, religion, and traditions. They were moved to segregated areas called reservations. Their 7,000 years of lifestyle was put into history. Simply put the Indians got in the way.

I am a story teller using visual images. I paint what has been a part of my life. It can be something I have experienced, things Ihave noticed that others haven't, or locations i have visited. My art has been described as living somewhere between reality and expression, contemporary and realism. Sometimes I paint fast and without a duplicated procedure. My paintings evolve constantly, changing in form, technique and color; some ending with a pure impression and others more defined. The manipulation of shape and textures is an on-going process and shapes my work into a personal style with a universally recognizable talent to create signature art. I was educated in the Armin Hoffman "Swiss Style" program of visual expression in the relationships of point, line, and shape. That discipline became the structure of self evaluation. An artist has to know themselves and be true to their unique capabilities. I am an extemporaneous painter with painting as the adventure of exploration. Art critics and judges looking at my body of work have described my art work as such: " I quickly really connected to the visual style of your paintings, creating a very impressionistic look on American Life. I love the everyday attitude to your subjects, representing figures, landscapes, and still life images through such a perspective that makes these images feel as if they are already a part of the daily lives of the viewer. Your paintings translate a very resonant feeling of nostalgia, making the viewer feel connected to something so familiar, yet distant, and almost unattainable. Your art conveys such a strong sense of space, stripping away so much real world context that we are all so heavily exposed to, and transporting the viewer into this world within the frame, where everything feels so much simpler and peaceful. I found your art to be an incredibly refreshing experience, as a viewer. It so successfully creates a sense of space and mood, emotionally moving the viewer into the world of the painting, and filling them with nostalgia, and a sense of peace. " Charlie Kassabian, RAW
