I am a painter/illustrator in my 30’s working out of my studio in Chicago, Illinois.
My goal with this website is to share my love for wildlife and painting. Wildlife appreciation has been something shared in my family for generations and now I’m able to share it with you. I pick certain species of birds and explore them via paintings and illustrations. My original focus was the birds of prey found in North America but I quickly found that there’s just too many awesome raptors on our planet to ignore.
It’s my hope that by sharing these birds with you, we can all work together to educate and share them with others in our lives and preserve them all for future generations to enjoy.
Thank you very much for looking at birds with me.
