Bird in Hand Studio, Inc.

my artwork is very difficult to classify. i am influenced by the works of franz marc, egon schiele and georgia o’keefe, but i am also drawn to the work of graphic illustrators and graffiti artists. as for subject matter, animals have always found their way into my art. an earlier academic interest in zoology and the natural world has translated into my current aesthetic language. i tend to paint with vibrant, fauvist color, but my intention is to remain true to the spirit of my subject. for the most part, my animal subjects are portrayed in a whimsical manner, but without demeaning them. the rawness and honesty of nature is refreshing to me.
