I paint portraits of wild fauna and flora on salvaged metal road signs that advocate for our wild and natural world, and make mixed media art, assembled and collaged using the detritus and treasures found in my wanderings.
Growing up 1960s in the suburbs of Los Angeles, witnessing farmland bulldozed for parking lots and wild grasslands paved into highways, I found art as a refuge and developed a passion for preserving open and wild spaces. Through the 1980s and 90s, I worked as a self-taught illustrator, driving the LA freeways to graphic illustration, and design gigs where I developed the skills and language that I now use to create my art and books.
Living and working in the Mojave desert with Joshua Tree National Park in my view, I witness and feel inspired by the Mojave desert outside my window.
