I have always found my deepest inspiration in the intersection of art, nature, and travel. With a background in fine arts, I've cultivated a style that blends traditional techniques with modern influences, using mediums like watercolor, gouache, and ink to create vivid, unique and expressive artworks.
My passion for painting birds stems from my childhood, where I was surrounded by the enthusiasm of my dad, a botany professor and a dedicated bird watcher. His love for these creatures instilled in me a profound appreciation for their beauty and diversity, which I strive to capture in my artwork.
My artistic journey has been enriched by extensive travels through the Southwest, where I've immersed myself in the landscapes and cultures of the region. Exploring numerous national parks, from the Grand Canyon to the Mojave Desert, has provided me with endless inspiration. These experiences have not only shaped my artistic vision but also deepened my connection to the natural world.
In my paintings, I aim to convey the essence of these landscapes and the spirit of the birds that inhabit them. Each artwork is a reflection of my reverence for nature's beauty and a tribute to the places and creatures that have left a lasting impression on me.
Through my art, I hope to share the joy and wonder I find in the world around us, inviting others to see and appreciate its richness. Every brushstroke is infused with the memories of my travels, the influence of my fine arts background, and the heartfelt admiration I have for birds and their habitats.
