Painting

I am a documentary filmmaker, photographer, paint and draw, book arts. I have completed projects for New Mexico and California with a focus on the natural world. As an artist I have a particular interest in birds and wolves. I have a short film 'Wolf Commercials' about protecting wolves for our future and other films on Vimeo that portray the story of a river migrating birds, and the wild within. I also paint husky dogs.I wrote two books on performance art bringing nature to life. RiverWorks, and Bringing Nature of Life. Wingspread, in pastel and color pencil about birds as guardians and their myths.

There are smaller chap and wave books on birds and wolves; On The Line about crows(two volumes) On the Fence about local birds.

Photos and drawings are often a series on a theme.

I have teamed up with various organizations creating a series of shows for The Wolf Project, to protect wolves and return them to Endangered Species status and migratory health and corridors for wildlife. A traveling show Heroes and Heroines: Wolves in our Mist/Midst offers portraits of legendary wolves by myself and twenty other artists depicting them beyond stereotypes. Contact me for a show at your venue.
