“My creating process typically requires a reasonable commitment of time and observation. I prefer to understand and know something about the animals I choose to paint. Every piece in this show can be accompanied by a short story about one of my experiences in the field and the inspiration that led to the painting. In this work, I strive to make paintings that are interesting, accurate, colorful and most of all, distinctively mine. When people look at my work, I hope it somehow encourages them to take a closer look and see the beauty of nature and wildlife as I do. For me, the ability to draw and paint is an incredible gift that allows me to communicate with people through my art. Wildlife Art gives me a way to express my fascination and appreciation for the natural world and then connect with people who enjoy those same amazing things.”
