For as long as I can remember I have been fascinated with both the animal world and the creative
process. Those fascinations have manifest themselves as a love for the biological and natural
sciences and art in its myriad forms. The first had led me to pursue a degree in biology and the
second has led me to express my love for life in all its forms through the visual arts. They have
fused to create a style that is both emotive and exacting. It has been remarked that I approach
my work with the patience of a scientist. My genre of choice is wildlife and as my subjects I have
generally chosen species with conservation concerns; those on the precipice of extinction.
Through my work, I hope to raise the consciousness of the viewer to respect these creatures as
they are. Our animal neighbors are individuals in their own right, their struggle to survive, protect
their homes, and care for their young is a journey shared by us all.
