ANIMAL PORTRAITS AND SHOREBIRDS

Animals carry presence, personality, and a quiet intelligence that goes far beyond what a photograph can hold. When I paint an animal, I’m not just working from an image—I’m responding to the subtle character, mood, and energy that emerges as the piece unfolds. This often reveals itself in the background, the gesture, or the way the paint moves across the page.

​

Whether you are drawn to a portrait of a beloved companion or to the quiet grace of shorebirds, each watercolor is created slowly and with care. I work closely with you to shape a one-of-a-kind piece that feels true, meaningful, and alive—something that honors the animal rather than simply reproducing a likeness.
