I gradually fell in love with birds, initially drawn to them as interesting subjects because of their intricate textures and delicate forms. I take great pleasure in meticulously detailing the tiny lines and subtle gradations in their feathers, capturing the essence of each bird with precision. As I researched each species more deeply, my fascination and appreciation for their unique characteristics only grew stronger. My fascination extends to insects and wildlife. My work focuses primarily on species native to North America, motivated by a deep passion for restoring local ecology and raising public awareness about the importance and breathtaking beauty of the continent's natural wildlife.
