My work begins with close observation: hummingbirds at a feeder, insects on fruit, weather moving across the desert, the shape of an egg, a nest, a silver cup, drought, rain. I am interested in the small living things we often overlook and the ways attention can become a form of care.

Poetry, natural history, illuminated manuscripts, and scientific ideas also influence my work. I often think about painting as a way of slowing down long enough to notice the world again.

Select works may become available as prints, cards, or other formats. Joining my mailing list is the best way to hear about new releases.

Occasionally, yes. I may accept commissions involving still life, birds, botanical subjects, or nature-inspired themes depending on schedule and project fit.

Yes. I teach workshops in nature journaling, observational drawing, poetry, creative process, and occasionally painting. Workshops are designed for curious observers rather than experts. Writers, artists, beginners, experienced creatives, and anyone hoping to reconnect with attention and curiosity are welcome.

Participants can expect close observation, sketching exercises, reflective writing prompts, practical techniques, and encouragement to develop sustainable creative habits.

My teaching often emphasizes questions such as:

• What do I notice?

• What do I wonder?

• What does this remind me of?

These simple prompts can open surprising creative pathways.

Yes. I am available for workshops, artist talks, and educational programs for schools, writing organizations, museums, and community groups.
