Throughout his life, he balanced his love for art and is passion for being a cowboy. He worked on a Ranch on a Cheyenne reservation and also studied etching under Wyoming artist Hans Kleiber. His works are housed in the Gilcrease Museum in Oklahoma, the Buffalo Bill Historical Center in Cody, Wyoming, and the National Museum of Wildlife Art.
