FINE ART:
My 3 dimensional collection is acrylic on canvas, with hand cut Gator board glued to canvas for 3D sculptural visual experience. Sizes range from 24” x 24” to 30” x 48”.

My newest collection is called “Bark from the Park”. It is created with bark discovered at local city and state park, and adorned with specially printed paper butterflies that are individually cut out and given additional hand painted detail for realism. No butterflies were harmed to create this collection. On the contrary, this collection will hopefully bring more attention to the fact that butterflies face a wide range of threats including habitat loss, climate change, disease, pesticides, and invasive plants.

BUTTERFLIES:
I enjoy raising Monarchs to help repopulate these magnificent creatures.
