Parlay. This is a historic painting of the inside of Greathouse stage stop near Corona N.M. The big window behind Deputy Carlyle is the one he goes through . After Billy the Kid and his gang stole some horses in Puerto de Luna, a posse, including James Carlyle, was formed to chase after him. They followed him to the Greathouse stage stop and cornered him inside. Carlyle demanded Billy surrender and Billy refused.

"When I was 10 years old, I was entranced by the stories of Billy the Kid that I heard in my hometown of Roswell, NM. As I grew older, I realized that there were missing pieces in the history of Billy's life, especially when it came to the places that had been destroyed or lost to history. My passion for uncovering these truths grew as I delved deeper into the research. Even better, I found that I could share my love of history through my paintings. Painting brings me immense joy, especially when it comes to capturing the beauty of New Mexico. Through my artwork, I can bring to life the memories of Billy and capture the essence of this incredible state. I am so grateful to have the opportunity to express myself and share my joy with others."
