Visually, the eyes are the most important element within my work. The essence of my drawings is that of meditative love, emotion, awareness and appreciation, expressed through close-up, photo realistic and highly detailed depictions of Wildlife. Through this enlightened awareness, the viewer and Animal become one within the artwork, thus allowing you to see from within, every flick of hair, every aspect of rich color, and every sense of depth within the strokes of line made upon the canvas. My artistic passion is to give those who view my work, the opportunity of capturing that brilliant moment when one looks deep within the eyes of these Animal drawings and see only their natural beauty from which they were drawn from, and to know and appreciate their splendid and diverse ways.
