When I return to the studio, as I look at the many slides that result from my trips, I again feel the emotions and remember each moment. I strive to capture in my painings what I went to Africa to do. My mission is to record the story and pass the message along; a message of preservation, protection, and celebration of wildlife.
Creating this art has become my energy, my inspiration, my passion since 1996.
Since painting wildlife full-time, I have exhibited at many shows, including the prestigious Birds in Art in Wassau, WI and Pac Rim Show in Seattle , WA winning awards along the way. My happiest moments are when the paintings connect with others who share the passion and understand the story.
