Welcome to my website and thanks for taking a look at what I do! 
I love sharing my art.

  I am honored to have been chosen once again this year to provide the cover illustration for Virginia Native Plant Society's  Wildflower of the Year brochure, which highlights Wild Geranium.
The Virginia Native Plant Society is  "a non-profit organization of individuals who share an interest in Virginia's native plants and habitats.  The Society and its chapters seek to further the appreciation and conservation of this priceless heritage."

Salmon Matters: How a Fish Feeds a Forest is a story of sea to forest connections in the Pacific Northwest. 
Perhaps you remember, Milkweed Matters which Lisa wrote and I illustrated.  This book presents another amazing story ~ this time on the coho salmon ~ its birth, life, travels, perils, and the renewal of forest nutrients thanks to its incredible life story.
