I’m a visual artist and illustrator with a focus on nature and the animal kingdom. My art practice incorporates reducing and reusing before recycling or disposing of materials. I share, trade and lend materials with my studio mates. I appreciate the quiet stillness of wildlife and find creativity there. I create art to represent the natural world and the value it brings to human life. I encourage people to respect the natural world and take responsibility for our impact on it, such as never littering and always putting out your campfires.
