I’m an artist born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee. As far back as I can remember I have loved two things most of all: art and nature. I combined my two great passions and became a scientific illustrator, fine artist, and educator specializing in birds.

 
  I document each of my subjects with the wonder of first discovery and attempt to convey my awe of the natural world in each painting. My hope is that my art will inspire others to connect with nature in a profound way just as I have through my paintings. Even my silliest paintings are suffused with my love of nature! From yeehaw birbs to scientifically illustrated owls, I hope you can feel the love I put into my work.
