"An unmistakable bird of coastal waters, the Brown Pelican is one the largest seabirds found in North America. On the West Coast they breed on dry, rocky offshore islands.
The brown pelican is a large dark gray-brown water bird with white over the head and the front of the neck. The back of the neck is covered with rich brown feathers. In the breeding season the head feathers turn yellow, the bill becomes pinkish red and the pouch turns almost black.
These birds were encountered on Mexico's rugged shores a few years back.

My journey as a Wildlife Artist is one of constant learning. Choosing subjects, learning about their struggles as a species, developing ideas for how best to paint them are ongoing for every painting - bringing that image out in paint is an absolute joy and so rewarding.
"“One of the strengths of wildlife art is its ability to tell stories. In my paintings I try to bring out the individuality of each animal as it goes about its everyday life - I use my brush to tell their stories.""
