Contact me		 The focus of my work in this gallery is birds and their surroundings. Most of the birds in these paintings live in or spend parts of their lives in California. Comprised of some of the biologically richest ecosystems on the planet, California's unique habitats are falling to a singular kind of habitat, suburbia, at an unprecedented rate. In order to contribute to an understanding of the complexity of what is being poisoned, bulldozed and paved over, as well as what has been preserved, I have depicted a diversity of birds and their habitats in diverse ways: simple, complex, closeups, landscapes, colorful and monochromatic.

This gallery is a celebration, a synthesis of my enthusiasm for drawing and painting, my respect for science and my spiritual explorations. What may seem like a frequent shift in styles is my desire to capture some fraction of the diversity of beauty I perceive in the world around me. I paint the patterns, shapes and colors in avian subjects and their habitats that stimulate something deep within my consciousness. Yet within the seeming endless variety offered by nature, there are patterns, shapes and colors to which I am repeatedly drawn. Look closely and you will find them throughout all of my work, regardless of the species or habitat I am depicting or the medium I am using.
