Once upon a time long ago but not too far away, I sat on the fence of a goat pen.

And began to draw.

Goats, rabbits, cows. The grasses they ate, pinecones, acorns, and other seeds. Trees, plants, flowers, leaves…

With side trips into portraiture, landscape, figure, and architecture.

Now I concentrate on botanical art and illustration. The combination of science (botany) and art fascinates me.

As Alan Alda observed,

“Art and science are long-lost lovers, yearning to be reunited.”

The style that unifies my collections is classical realism.
