September 2022
This painting was recently selected to be in the Birds in Art exhibit at the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Museum in Wassau, WI. At 36" X 60" it is larger than my usual work. April 2022 I

is currently on display at the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum where it
was selected to be included in the 2020 Birds in Art exhibition. ...and a work in
progress: December 2019 "October River
Scene" August 2017 Enough swan

Duck stamp. October, 2015 February, 2015 Some recent

Otherwise, I've been gearing up
for the release of the 2016-2017

Here is the winning
design, Trumpeter Swans, inspired by the amazing recovery
of trumpeter swans over the last couple of decades. Click the image
