Once upon a time I graduated from Ohio State University with a degree
in Natural Resources, Environmental Ed, honors program specialty Wildlife
Illustration. Yes, I was the park naturalist who took people on hikes and
who introduced the natural world to kids who think milk comes from grocery
stores, and not from cows. But soon enough I moved into a remote region of
the Appalachians, where there wasn't much call for my line of work. People
there, after all, live smack in the midst of nature. But dabbled for many years, and still hope to return to it again... (Mind you, I'm much better at creating the art than I am at taking photos of it....never mind photos from the '90s when the tech was less advanced. Shadows & such are from mats or frames)

Just for fun....and no, those aren't birds! Think fire-breathing.... |
And yes, I have my own visions of my own characters...just never enough time to put them down on paper. Usually. Here's the exception: Dun Lady's Jess. She hangs in my office...
