What better source of inspiration than the biological world?
The best way to study something is to draw it, but I am not limited by what I actually see. Color, line, shape, texture, pattern — these are the tools I use to make my subjects “sing,” giving voice to their uniqueness with a playful style. I use an iPad to create my digital art, which gives me the freedom to experiment until I feel I’ve got it right. The medium also gives me effects that often surprise me with positive results.

I draw what is meaningful to me, because I’ve encountered something like it in my life or perhaps in one of my dreams. So much of life is precarious at this point in time, and may vanish before we know it. My purpose is to draw attention to overlooked forms of nature, and bring focus to my favorite subjects — birds, sealife, plant forms, life in general. If I’ve made someone think long enough to smile, that is my reward.

In addition to archival fine art prints and notecards, look for my limited edition calendars.
