an animal and nature artist living in a treehouse

  I am an artist living in a treehouse in the mountains of Front Royal, VA. I have been drawing and creating works for as long as I can remember. I studied Art at Davis and Elkins College in West Virginia. Nowadays I spend my time watching the wildlife and taking in nature from my backyard. I’m a lover of animals and hope to share their stories.

   I start with a drawing usually or even a watercolor. The medium changes depending on animal and mood. If an image sticks with me long enough it normally becomes an oil painting or a linocut print. Everything I put into a piece is intentional, right down to the colors used. They are symbolic, I think of the way a color makes me feel. The animals are also symbolic. They tell a story. For example, to me the Bee is diligence, the Deer is calmness, and the Bear is strength. Everything has meaning and everything has a purpose.
