I feel fortunate to have both painting and photography as passions. If I am uninspired to paint, I can step outside and find some waves or wildlife to photograph. One passion feeds the other, and as long as I have both, one always seems to be firing at all cylinders.

I am also fortunate that my work has taken me to many incredible places around the world - Africa, French Polynesia, Alaska, Yellowstone, to name a few. Along the way, I have had incredible wildlife experiences and made wonderful friendships that remain to this day.

If you make it to the gallery, I will be happy to share some of these stories!. See you soon!
