About
From boyhood, Den has dreamed of creating pictures depicting dramatic characters and events, set against the great outdoors.
Throughout his career he has sought to set his art in a historical context and has developed a reputation for accurately depicting historical subjects. As he has pursued his illustration career, Den has also developed his understanding of America’s dramatic western frontier history. He has traveled extensively throughout the plains, mountains and deserts of the American West. Along the way, he has attended various rendezvous and reenactment activities, perused all manner of museums, and built his own respectable library on the subject of the “Old West.” Den’s paintings are as visually graphic and dynamic as the subject they depict.
Den is a graduate of the Philadelphia College of Art. He has worked as an illustrator, in the book publishing field, for twenty five years. In August, 2006, Den moved from Philadelphia to the town of Riverton, in central Wyoming. He has wished to live in the country where so much of the dramatic and colorful history of the America’s western frontier, took place. Throughout his travels, Den has always been thrilled by the big open, beautiful country that is the American west. Now that he lives in the midst of it all, Den continues to enjoy depicting glimpses into the old west.
