Projects: I have crowdfunded and produced two art books-- Finding My Familiar (wildlife drawings on toned paper) and Earth and Water (sumi-e and other ink art), and I' m currently working on a third called I Dream of Space. Described by Toni Weisskopf as " romantic spaceships," my sci-fi paintings are fantastical and expressionistic, as if I were an ancient astronomer seeing the scenes in dreams. I create them by building up textures and illuminating the happy accidents I find within. I like to push the boundaries between narrative decision and randomness-- it' s how I make sense of art, and of life! (As to whether there is also a secret fantasy art book in the works, I have no comment except life is short and I' ve got a lot of art in me to put out into the world!)

Location: Nashville, TN

Inspired by stories of the Peacock Angel my father told me when I was a child, this is my vision of the Temperance card. Commissioned by 78 Tarot for Animals: Tarot of the Wild, 2021. Acrylic on Strathmore 500 illustration board, approx.15 x 22 inches.
