About the artist:

I define myself as an artist and naturalist. I have freelanced my art all my working life. Among my many assignments and contracts were; designing the letters to be carved into stone on government buildings in Washington, DC and working as a natural science illustrator for the Smithsonian Natural History Museum. But these and other artistic efforts were just for ‘staying alive’ as the saying goes. As these many years have passed the most important things I have done are; thinking and evolving my ideas about how to help encourage the ‘best practices’ that humans have invented, (renewable energy, of course, among them), and creating artwork that may focus attention on the precious and unique quality of life on earth.
