I use my color courage to reveal personality rather than just appearance, celebrating the humor and spirit that animals carry so naturally, and honestly, my own joy in making viewers smile when they recognize that unmistakable spark of character in each piece. These aren't animal portraits, they're explorations of wit, attitude, and presence.

One hundred poppies will teach me how many ways I can honor both their striking simplicity and their whisper-soft vulnerability.
