I like plants...all
of them. They clean the air, feed our families, bring us joy, and
soften the edges of a hard world.
I am drawn to the recurring patterns and wild anomalies that occur
within the botanical realm.
I specialize
in drawing, in both graphite and colored pencil, and I am interested
in the idea that botanical art and
illustration is a dynamic and evolving art genre. As a teacher of
botanical art and illustration at the Denver Botanic
Gardens Certificate Program, I try to convey an appreciation for
both the scientific and artistic aspects
of the discipline. As an exhibiting artist, I push the boundaries
of traditional botanical art with less conventional
media, scale, and composition. My work appears at SPARK Gallery
Denver, in numerous exhibits and publications,
and is held in many private collections. I always try to look beyond
the obvious and to present a fresh view of the
flora that surround and sustain us.
