Artist's Statement
After having worked in painting, illustration, and graphic design for many years, I have found colored pencil work to be my favorite medium. I exhibit locally art art shows in the Chicagoland area, and have had my work featured in national publications. I am an active member of the Colored Pencil Society of America, and have given demonstrations at their meetings of my colored pencil techniques.
My work focuses heavily on wildlife and animals, as I feel strongly about the plight of our environment and endangered species. I am also a photographer, and work exclusively from my own photographs. My drawings seek to capture the awe and reverence of nature, and empathize with the wildlife we share this planet with. |
