It's Almost Winter
 Background above image is a deciduous holly, genus Ilex- AKA Winterberry
  

Deciduous leaves are down, holly bushes and conifers have taken over the show.
Welcome to my website and thanks for taking a look at what I do! 
I love sharing my art.

This fall, I documented grape varieties for Brix and Columns Vineyards.  On the left is Viognier, Chambourcin on the right, and my "desk messes" in the center.  Such variety in the varieties!!  More to come!

Also take a quick look below to see samples of what I do, then in the menu above, click on
         "Portfolio Pages" (Seasonal and Topical Images),
"Landscapes" and "Journals" to see the variety of my illustrations

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.
