From early childhood, I always knew what I was going to do in life, be an artist. I’ve spent my life learning about nature of all kinds, by taking photos, drawing and even slogging around in creeks, lakes and other places to research animals so that I can draw them as realistically as possible. I’m a workaholic, but to me, this isn’t work, it was in my blood from the very beginning. For me, to draw is to live.
