Flowers

As a landscape designer, I feel very lucky that I get to "paint with flowers". But sometimes I just want to paint flowers... these are the results.
​

Birds & Animals

I enjoy drawing birds and animals - I always draw the eyes first, as it seems to make bringing them to life easier. Of course, it also means that they stare at me the whole time I do it!

Holiday
​

The Holidays are a great time to create illustrations full of magic and snow. It's a way of connecting with childhood again.

12 Month Progression

In this crazy world, it's nice to retreat to a simpler time. I have always been interested in folk art, and this farmhouse through the seasons was my retreat. There are 12 pictures,  one for each month of the year, plus a couple of other views as I flesh out the area a bit.

Just for fun
​

Sometimes, you just want to draw a flowery pattern, or experiment with a stained glass look, or draw a Kraken eating a square-rigger. This grouping is full of these whims.

WEDDING INVITATIONS

When a couple of Zoologists approached me to create their wedding invitations, I couldn't think of anything that I wanted to do more. It was such fun

WoRD OF THE WEEK ILLUSTRATIONS

"Word of the Week" illustrations are words that are suggested by friends and put on index cards. Each week I draw one at random and illustrate it. It's a fun way to stretch my imagination and play around with different styles of drawing.

PATTERNS

A soothing way to pass the time...
