CREATIVE STATEMENT
My interest in wildlife began as a child, I had a field guide that I would carry with me through our meadow, looking for animals and plants to identify. I later began drawing the creatures I found, trying to embellish their identifying features. Now, when illustrating animals, it’s important to me to maintain a loose touch to show the animal’s liveliness and personality, and to include details that show specificity. I love being creative with their appearances too, sometimes I enjoy making detailed renderings and other times I like to imagine new creatures.
