Hello! I live in the beautiful mountains of North Carolina but also enjoy visiting the coastal areas whenever possible. I have been studying birds for 40+ years and have also enjoyed art. My concern for wildlife preservation, along with my life long hobbies, merge together as I now create paintings of the things I love most...birds. One of my favorite quotes by the late, well known artist and ornithologist, Roger Tory Peterson, is "Birds not rooted to the ground, are one of the most eloquent expressions of life."

My acrylic paintings are entirely unique as I use my own photographs as reference material. I am a self-taught artist and enjoy the learning process each painting provides for me.

I use the fine art printmaking studio “Double Exposure” to help me create my Giclee prints. They are located in Fletcher, NC. Please be sure to check them out at doubleexposureart.com.
