I create artwork that is inspired by often overlooked, beautiful treasures found in nature. I invite the viewer to consider, for a moment, just how precious life is. I hope to inspire you to take more time to appreciate the common flora and fauna, landscapes, life cycles, and natural occurrences that come with living on Planet Earth. Having grown up in Garrett County, MD, I was consistently exposed to and surrounded by, the meticulous, astounding products of nature.
