the Inspiration.
I've had an affinity for bugs and critters since I was a kid, and I still feel like seeing any of them in my day is a blessing. In my opinion, All Insects serve a purpose in our world and I appreciate the Beauty of even the Creepiest.
You will always see some form of Nature in my art. Nothing feels complete without a nod to what fascinates me. I love colors, textures, and free-spirited movement, as much as I love, realism and minimalism.

I'll start by saying I prefer Animals over humans. Bugs take second place, Flowers, Wildlife, and just about anything that lives in harmony with Nature.
I'm pretty much a recluse & don't do well if I can't create. When I can't paint digitally, I'll paint traditionally, and when I can't do either;
I'm hunting for bugs ;)
