“My sketchbooks are a sort of visual diary of my travels and adventures. They are not seen by many people. A one-of-a-kind book of drawings and notes is hard to exhibit. I have created this page in order to share with you some of the scribblings and drawings from my numerous sketchbooks. A glimpse into the initial inspirations integral to my creative process.”

| I will always love big cats. They have inspired many paintings. Zoos are often the best place to see big cats as they are elusive in the wild and hard to see. I will often sit and draw early in the morning before they get tired of all the visitors and sketch them. Even when they are snoozing, they make wonderful subjects.

Snow Leopards are remarkable cats, supremely adapted to their mountain environment. Broad paws for walking on snow and extra long tail for navigating steep slopes.

Cheetahs have a remarkable body structure and make for very interesting feline subjects with their small round spots.

| Archeological reminders of how people and cultures of the past viewed animals has led me to explore an entire body of work that featured both the real animal and the human representation. |
