I am a wildlife artist and natural history illustrator.

I delight in the unique and unusual, and my goal when creating is to communicate with my viewer that excitement. I hope to pass along a little bit of wonder for the world around us.

The paper sculptures are created with found specialty papers. Minimal altering of color and pattern may be done. A drawing is carefully made, and the papers are cut and formed by hand to create a three dimensional collage. With the exception of small 5x7s that I create in limited editions, all my pieces are one of a kind works of art.
