Art has always been a part of my life. Shortly after graduating with a B.F.A. from Rochester Institute of Technology, I discovered using colored pencils as a fine art medium. I work realistically and I like the smooth texture and fine details that can be achieved with colored pencils.
Inch by Inch was inspired by the Giant Tortoises I had the privilege of seeing during a recent trip to Santa Cruz Island in the Galapagos. They are such amazing creatures. Giant Tortoises can eat up to 80 lbs. of food a day but can also store food and water so well that they can survive without eating or drinking for up to a year.
My piece was done with colored pencils and erasers on Grafix drafting film using a process called drawing by subtraction. After coating the film with a pencil wash, I began by erasing and slowly building up color layer by layer. I enjoy the process of watching my painting slowly emerge.

This meadow flower found in Oxfordshire is endangered by the contemporary farming practices that systematically destroy its wet habitat. Draining land for commercial agriculture endangers this colorful plant species. The pink and purple petals light up like stained glass windows in the sun.

Bright oranges and yellows describe this endangered flowering plant. The African Tulip Tree faces extinction due to the current development of its natural habitat for industrial use. This is another critical element for endangered species - loss of habitat.

Vivid layers of impasto oil paint reflect the light and movement of this endangered butterfly. Although it is predominantly orange yellow and black it's gently fluttering movements can also reflect a full palate of surrounding color in its natural organic habitat.

My palate of mixed media on canvas creates the extraordinary visual texture of the Rhino's thick skin. I combine the substantial weight volume and dinosaur-like structure with unusual colors to emphasize the incredibly rare and ancient presence of the Rhino.

This picture shows a Tiger protecting his territory and way of life. His facial expressions and the dark bamboo grove are the main idea reflecting the situation in which endangered animals are in today. He is a symbol of self-defense and on the other hand the fragility of the animal world.

This painting depicts the clearing of Florida's natural habitat and a reflection of what once was. Animals that were once found in the state have disappeared. Unless the remaining ecosystem is saved Florida's black bears will suffer the same fate.

A little girl stands in harmony with animals. Her bare feet connect with the soil. While the roots in front of them lead to an unknown place some look pensively to the future while others look to us. The decisions we make after all will impact their world.

The Florida Panther nearly went extinct in the 1970s. Thanks to conservation efforts however the number of panthers has increased to around 200. Today it is critically important to purchase land for conservation specifically Florida’s wildlife corridors in order to save the Florida Panther.
