Inspiration drives me to express the spirit and essence of animal and fantasy subjects with honesty, respect and passion.

My creative process is an intuitive one...

I go where inspiration takes me, striving to release the need to control outcomes. My job as an artist is to step back and leave space for the character and personality of my subjects to inhabit the work.

If a painting or sculpture continues to instill wonder after it has left the studio, enhancing the space it occupies or the lives of those who have welcomed it into their homes, then I have done my job.
