I am an illustrator of the natural world.After receiving my master’s degree in Forest Ecology in 1983, I worked in the woods throughout Oregon. I incorporate art with my science to produce trail signs and ecology posters, illustrate books and publications, and create fine art prints and cards.
I have been fortunate to spend much of my career and recreation time exploring nature.It is fascinating to examine all the details, above and below ground, up close and from a landscape perspective.Every square inch of our natural world contains something artistically beautiful and scientifically interesting.I like to pick out one aspect of the environment and hold it up for inspection, with all its imperfection and variation.By changing perspective, focus, season and habitat, I have an infinite palette and unlimited source of inspiration.
