Artist statement:
I work primarily in watercolor and graphite from my original photographs. I am fascinated by line and find beauty in the details of the natural world. Many of my recent paintings and drawings are of my own pet chickens, and while I work I become lost in the patterns that form their feathers, facial features, scales on legs. My intent is to move the viewer beyond the chicken-as-folk-art or chicken-as-farm-animal representations by expressing a deeper sense of the personalities of the individual birds.
