My work originates in the field doing detailed studies, usually just sitting on the ground face to face with the plant in order to capture the movement of its growth as well as the most minute details.

Each specimen is usually observed through its seasonal cycles and may be a painting on its own such as the Big Red Sage in Winter. Or, the cycles are recorded on the same painting or drawing, such as the Texas Snowbells (shown at left) or Rain Lilies
