About Me

Last August (2005) I moved to Logan, Utah where I have a job as a professor at Utah State University. I teach Painting and Drawing. I love it out here. The culture can be a little odd (same valley where the movie Napoleon Dynamite is from/filmed), but getting in fourty + days of skiing this year, more than makes up for that. I teach 64 days a year. Most of the other 301 days I spend either painting, promoting my paintings, and gallivanting the landscape. Utah is the perfect place for that...the land is spectacular and diverse... and it hardly ever rains...just lots of snow in the winter. Currently I show/sell my paintings in a New York City (Chelsea) gallery called Gallery Henoch. Soon I will also be showing in LA, Palm Desert, and many more. www.woodyshepherd.com is finally up and running.... check it out!Visual Design Fundamentals, .. Front row shot of Trey Band at Red Rocks

My Interests

Painting, downhill skiing, traveling, live concerts... especially touring with Taylor Hollingsworth, camping, watching forest fires up close from natural hot springs, hiking under a full moon through the rock field and slot canyons at Goblin Valley, and exploring for ancient indian rock art in remote places of Utah.
