Dreaming of drawing another moose… but I need to photograph one first! This beauty has sold. 💚

Taking my own reference photos is something I dreamed of doing but honestly dreaded the hours I’d have to put in to learning something new. Now, photography is a huge part of my creative process and I could not imagine going back to drawing from someone else’s experiences. Barn Swallow 💙🧡

A Cedar Waxwing in pastels. We’re lucky to have a Saskatoon tree in the yard that attracts a lot of cool visitors like these gorgeous waxwings, Evening Grosbeaks, and Tanagers, to name a few. This one was commissioned by a private collector.

Who says grey is boring? Fell in love with this adorable little Dusky Flycatcher and had to draw it. 🥰

Two grizzly portraits, two different mediums. Which do you prefer? Coloured Pencil on the left, or pastel on the right?

One of my favourite drawings from last year, a handsome backyard visitor, the Rufous Hummingbird.

5”x7” coloured pencil drawing from my own reference. Sold.

Who wants to give this sleepy fox a cozy home?

Who else loves birds? Currently working on a series of bird drawings including this vibrant Red-breasted Sapsucker I had the pleasure of photographing in December.
