Visual Art – San Jose

I\'ve been drawn to both animals and art since before I can remember. I began drawing as soon as I could hold a pencil and I began studying photography when I was in college. in 2013, I fulfilled my lifelong dream of traveling to Botswana to see and photograph African wildlife. Later in 2013, I set up shop online with my own sculpting business, primarily specializing in custom animal figurines. In 2015 I began to work with watercolors and have fallen in love with them as well. Regardless of the medium, my art always features my biggest passion. By trade, I have been a professional zoo educator for most of my career, dedicated to teaching others about wildlife conservation. My focus in art holds the same passion and I hope to connect others to wildlife though my artwork.
