I have a passion for animals, both big and small. Using my favorite mediums—pastels, charcoal, oil, and colored pencils—I strive to capture the distinct personality of each species. Charcoal offers precision, helping me define compositions and explore a wide range of values and expressive mark-making. Pastels, with their vibrant palette and luminous quality, allow me to bring life and energy to each piece.
Throughout the creative process, I feel a deep connection to the essence of these incredible creatures. My intention is to highlight the importance of wildlife preservation and inspire viewers to reflect on their own relationship with the natural world.
Original pieces are available for purchase at The Gallery at Whitepine Studios and in the online gallery.
One of my pieces, titled “Eagle Owl,” was selected in 2022 for Art Around Saline, and “Red Eyed Green Tree Frog” was selected in 2023. Art Around Saline promotes local artists and displays reproductions of their work in downtown Saline. “Eagle Owl” can be seen at City Hall and Tree Frog on the side of Mac’s Restaurant.
