I rediscovered the joyful spontaneity of drawing in 2024 after several decades. My art practice is a form of play, meditation, exploration and experimentation and a way to honor and highlight our feathered friends. I began with colored pencils but the birds have inspired me to expand into inks, paints, oil pastels, collage and block printing. I aspire to capture the essence, personalities and attitudes of these tiny yet mighty, fragile and fierce winged creatures that grace the skies, the trees and backyard feeders.

Please email me for a studio visit to meet the flock.
