I worked as a commercial illustrator for twenty years. During this time, I always had a love of painting birds and animals. I finally made the decision to turn my full attention to this artwork, and now birds have become my primary subject. I focus on the birds here in Northern California where I live, ones I can see and study up close. My work appears in a variety of exhibitions around the country.
