     Past work

During childhood, my family moved often. There were two comforting constants: the factory-second books given to me by my grandfather who worked at the Rand McNally publishing plant in Gary, IN, and magazines like Ranger Rick that my parents splurged for. Art and nature were always important to me, even when we lived in St. Louis for several years. There, I spent many Saturdays at the St Louis Art Museum, mesmerized by the surrounding artwork. In college, I worked as an archeological illustrator to pay my tuition. This led me on several overseas adventures while drawing for excavation teams, and encouraged my interest not only in natural history but also human history. Living in North Africa for several summers whetted my appetite to live permanently someplace where the food and the weather were both hotter. I've found that home here in the Rio Grande Valley, and feel extremely fortunate to be living life in this region of magic realism, reveling in the subtle beauty of the place, and hopefully returning some of the enthusiasm it brings to me by instilling that wonder and enthusiasm in my students.
