prints & more
All of my prints are drawn, carved, and printed by hand in my small home studio in San Francisco, California. By being hand-burnished, each print is unique with its own signs of texture- just like a fingerprint. While I have fallen in love with printmaking, I still work with a variety of mediums ranging from acrylic paints to pen & ink drawings.
Remarkable Raptors
The word raptor is derived from the Latin word rapere, which means “to seize”. Raptors (who are also called birds of prey) are carnivorous birds that have hooked beaks, sharp talons, and keen eyesight. There are approximately 482 species of raptor worldwide, 304 diurnal (active during the day) species and 178 nocturnal (active at night) species. This series focuses on some remarkable raptor species that are found throughout North America.

Vultures hold an incredibly crucial role in maintaining a healthy balance in our ecosystems: they are nature’s professional clean-up crew and the champions of leftovers.

Southern Staples
In honor of this artist’s Southern roots, this gallery includes prints that focus on classic southern wildlife. The Southeastern U.S. is one of the most biodiverse temperate regions in the world- but, a large portion of the Southeast’s biodiversity is not formally protected. This region’s biodiversity can be saved- but only if we can learn to appreciate & value it.
Bark beetles earn their name from their habit of mining, living, and reproducing between the bark of a tree and the wood itself.
