I love observing and painting birds. Their distinct personalities remind me of people I know, and their interactions mirror my own experiences. Each of my paintings begins with an observation in the field. I make jottings in a field notebook which becomes my main resource as I develop a painting in my studio. While I like to depict a bird species as accurately as possible, I try to give their environment a loose, spontaneous feel. I hope my work will bring new appreciation for the amazing avian world around us.
I am represented by several galleries in the Bay Area. My husband and I have traveled and birded extensively in Central and South America and we occasionally lead walks for the Santa Clara County Audubon Society.
