About The Artist — I've been living in Vermont over 10 years now where the lay of the land and the change of the seasons match many of my favorite subjects to illustrate. In the winter you'll find me tree skiing the Green Mountains. In summer I'm growing vegetables.
About The Crow Quill Pen — The crow quill is an old fashioned pen & nib tool which I repeatedly dip into an inkwell to embellish my pencil drawings. I began illustrating with it in college and it quickly became my forte. Each
image involves hours of work to attain the fine-line detail. It's not flashy or state of the art....but I'm proud to wield this tool and claim it
as a badge of honor. If you purchase my product just know you are helping to keep the traditional pen & ink format alive. And that is appreciated!
About These Illustrations — When I was a kid we lived on a brook. On one side was a corn field, on the other a sheep meadow. There was an old stone church walking distance and a vegetable stand. Driving to college I was enamored with the old farms off the highway. When I began skiing I wasn't only hooked on the sport, but enchanted with the undulating hills, the old barns and covered bridges, the expanses of farm land with their cows and horses and wonderful wooden fences and heaping hay bales....in snow or full bloom. Thus these images were born.
About My Work — I'm a professional freelance illustrator by trade. My clients have ranged from Mother Earth News, the Metropolitan Opera Guild, GreenPrints Quarterly, HBO, Simon Pearce, The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, AT&T, Multnomah Books and many more. I have two illustration styles, fine-line and bold-line. To see more visit my illustration website:
