Artist Statement

My work comes from a love of nature, a love of literature, and a love of whimsy. Much of my view can be summed up by the following quote from Watership Down:

“‘Animals don't behave like men,' he said. 'If they have to fight, they fight; and if they have to kill they kill. But they don't sit down and set their wits to work to devise ways of spoiling other creatures' lives and hurting them. They have dignity and animality.’”
