Artwork
Bird art has been a love of mine for most of my life. Unfortunately, it is something that I can only indulge in from time to time thanks to my busy tour and other travel schedule. Primarily I work in watercolor/guache, pen-and-ink, and ink on scratchboard. Below, you will see a few examples of my work.
