I am an oil painter and artist-advocate dedicated to celebrating avian life. Through small-format oil paintings, I invite viewers into intimate encounters with birds.

Inspiration often starts just outside my studio window. I am deeply fascinated by birds' intricate feather construction, vibrant colors, and the fragile yet gritty way they navigate the world. For me, each painting functions as a meditation. The richness of oils allows me to honor their beauty and encourage viewers to slow down and find peace amid our chaotic contemporary landscape.

My work serves a dual purpose: seeking a connection with the natural world and highlighting the urgent need to preserve it. My commitment to conservation extends beyond the canvas through active partnerships with galleries and conservation auctions. I am proud to support organizations dedicated to protecting our environment, including the American Bird Conservancy and the Friends of Sleeping Bear Dunes.
