The inspiration for my work is the miracle of animals and their lives. My desire is to create images depicting the similarities between animals and humans, emotionally and spiritually.

MY PROCESS
All of my portraits are created with pastels, both pan pastels and pastel pencils. They allow me to blend tones yet create fine detail. I use photographs that I have taken, or copyright free images for my wildlife work. For custom commissions, I use photographs that my client provides. I usually require one photograph in the pose you wish and another photograph with some detail on the coat and coloring. I can create any size portrait you wish...the most popular is an 8 x 10 image with 11 x 14 frame. All portraits will be matted with a complimentary color and framed. Please contact me through my contact page with any questions, and for additional information. I would love to create a very special portrait of your "heart" animal.
