"My interest in nature is rooted in childhood when I was raised as an only child. Entire summers were spent at my grandparents farm on rural Vancouver Island, B.C. I was fascinated by the wild life all around me.

	When I was little, tree frogs, tadpoles, garter snakes and butterflies were my constant companions during the summer months and I have been drawing and painting as far back as I can remember. This interest in the natural world increased over the years and is repeatedly reflected in my art.
It is my wish to project through my work an awareness of beauty as I see it, whether in a spider's web, a zebra's eye, a fern frond or a breaking wave. Beauty exists at every turn. One has only to take a second, closer look.

	Throughout my art career I have experimented in many different fine arts media, including watercolor, charcoal, pastels, ink and wash to name a few. But it wasn't until I got serious about colored pencil that I became aware of its potential. The versatility of this medium gives me the greatest amount of control over what I'm trying to accomplish, particularly when it comes to detail.
My Pencil technique allows me to make my art very realistic which I could not achieve to the same degree with other media. I found that with practice and hard work, one can produce a smooth, textureless look, contrary to how work with colored pencils is generally perceived."

Pet Portraits are one my favorite things to draw.
