I began my illustration career as a fashion illustrator here in the cities and later in London, England. Working for newspapers meant that those illustrations were done in ink. I start everything with an ink sketch. My bird’s collection was born from a desire to honor them for staying through our harsh Minnesota winters. I used my bundle of textiles, embroidery, and papers as my palette for my ink drawings of my favored birds. Each bird is a character in a story that we can identify with.
