A NOTE FROM THE ARTIST ABOUT MATERIALS AND TECHNIQUE: "I am a traditional mixed media artist. I typically work in in a combination of watercolor, acrylic, and ink, but have experimented with many other mediums. I focus on wildlife themes and approach my renderings with an eye toward design rather than realism. I usually choose to paint on non-traditional surfaces for watercolor. I use wood, glass, physical objects, or anything I can find that I feel would make an interesting object."
