Alan D. Small

All my life I have felt a strong desire to create and design. That passion has taken many forms - through my studies in wildlife biology and landscape design, through working with wood art and through artistic expression with pen and ink and watercolor.

Over the years, I have explored a wide range of styles and subjects, drawing inspiration from both the natural world and the everyday moments that often go unnoticed. My art reflects a lifetime of curiosity and exploration.

Travel has played a powerful role in shaping my artistic voice. I have journeyed across much of the United States and throughout Europe, experiencing diverse landscapes, people and cultures firsthand. These travels have broadened my perspective and deepened my understanding of history, place and storytelling - threads that often weave their way into my paintings.

Lately, I have found myself most inspired by the spirit of the contemporary West. Its raw beauty, open skies and cultural richness fuel my creativity and continue to influence my most recent paintings.

I hope you enjoy my paintings as I have enjoyed creating them.
