Fine Art Illustrator
At the heart of my illustration practice is to observe the natural world, harvest meaningful moments and translate them into a delicious visual meal.
I primarily work in watercolors and colored pencil with a heavy leaning toward conservation illustration. My studio and home are located in the heart of Lancaster, Pennsylvania where the love of the arts is evident throughout downtown.
My current body of work, Journey to Rewilding, is a series of paintings of threatened species that explores the interconnectedness of all living beings and humanity’s place within the broader web of life. This series of paintings include a deck of cards and book under the title: “ Journey to Rewilding Oracle Cards”. This is an inspirational collection of fifty-six paintings of North American threatened species. The book and cards engage the viewer in some basic regenerative principles of “How Can I Help” inside and outside the home through a hybrid of conservation values and inspirational suggestions.
I continue to create paintings from shamanic journeys as a way of crystalizing important life-affirming concepts and to inspire a vibrant world.

Visionary Artist
I create paintings that represent the healing stories that I receive from compassionate helping spirits. These paintings can serve as visual reminders to support and inspire your personal evolution.
Hiatus 2026-2027
I truly love the process of creating shamanic portraits but for the rest of 2026 and into 2027 I am taking some time to further develope my Threatened Species Oracle deck of cards. Commissioned work can be schedules after June of 2027.
