About Me
I’m a graphite artist and animator who’s spent years telling stories through animals. I won an Emmy for my work on the National Geographic special Predators at War, but the experience that shaped me most came from caring for abandoned geese and ducks at a local lake — feeding them, watching for injuries, helping Washach Wanderers relocate them, and cleaning the trash people left behind.Those moments taught me presence, patience, and the closeness I try to bring into every drawing.
Museum‑Quality Prints
Quality isn’t an afterthought for me — it’s the heart of the work.
Each print is made as a true keepsake: archival giclée on 100% cotton rag fine‑art paper, printed with pigment inks that hold their depth and clarity for decades.Every piece is signed by hand and includes a small note of authenticity, care, and my thanks — a reminder that what you’re holding was made with intention and meant to last.
