I am a student of Biology in large part due to viewing nature through the eyes of an artist. It is the awe I feel in response to the beauty of the natural world that draws me in, makes me care, drives me to learn, and act to immerse myself in understanding. From understanding comes the desire to preserve and protect and allow the beauty to persist not only for myself and my children, but for every living and non-living thing that fits together to create the intricate web that is Life. 9 x 11" illustrated book (collaboration with Reena VanDuzer) 9 x 11" portfolio of illustrations ~ 16 x 18" framed watercolor ~ 8 x 8" framed illustration ~ 12 x 20" framed illustration
