I stand in amazement of the sheer diversity of life that is on this earth. Each has a beauty and energy all its own. Through my artwork, I hope to share the uniqueness and beauty of each. Since animals are my muse, I find it only fitting that I give back to them. As a proud member of Art for Critters, at least 20% from all of my art sales is donated to animal charities and rescues.
As a child I spent many hours drawing all kinds of wildlife on the backs of old brown paper bags. Anything and everything was a potential canvas. As an adult, I now paint mostly on traditional canvas. I diligently study animals from life and from photos to accurately render them, while conveying each animal's unique personality.
As a self taught artist, I have illustrated for Greenpeace USA, Fund for Animals, the Santa Rosa Bird Rescue Center, and the Primate Foundation, among many others. Since June of 2003, I have become a full-time artist offering my works for sale on eBay and Art by Us.
I am an active member of Art for Critters and the group leader for eBay Artists-A Real Critique Forum.
