As an artist, I continue to be captivated by natural subjects. I have painted landscapes since studying art in college, but relatively recently I came to the genre of botanical and natural science art. The slow, meditative pace, the intimate scale, and meticulous attention to detail suit my temperament perfectly. In executing my paintings, I am drawn to form and fascinated by the effects of light striking surface texture. My most recent work concentrates on wading birds, ducks, and shorebirds. These types of birds provide scope for the depiction of reflections, shadows, and light on water. Furthermore, I am intrigued by the intelligent personality of birds, how they relate to each other, and the care with which they raise their young.
