I am a pen and ink artist. My technique is simple; a metal nib dipped into a bottle of ink and touched to paper. However, I have tried to push this media and myself past simple to create images that will draw you in to examine closer and to engage you. 

The wonderful way plants and creatures grow together is what drew me to the study of nature. Nature determinedly leaves no place empty or untouched; weeds, flowers, insects and creatures living their lives entwined. It's that tangle of life I like to observe and ink. In the chaos of these layers, there is an order, a rule for life; to continue onward, upward, and outward. I try to bring to my scenes a gentle acknowledgment to honor the common creatures. I endeavor to explore and find the small things lost in this busy world, bringing creatures and bits of nature forward so we may know them intimately again. It goes both ways, the creatures in my artwork look back at you as well.

I call myself the Delaware Artist. I was honored to receive an Individual Artist Fellowship from the Delaware Division of the Arts. WHYY public TV filmed me at work in my studio & in the woods for a program called Experience Delaware. I make my living traveling to art festivals to show and sell my works. Add to that; I am addicted to the AIRE programs across America.
