I was raised with a strong respect for nature which continued to be an important value for me throughout my life. Nature is, after all, my greatest inspiration for painting! Because I worked at the state Capitol for so many years, I had an opportunity to get to know the AZ Game & Fish Department on many levels and was always impressed. The best example of their effectiveness can actually be seen in the lands they manage. We're avid hikers and campers, so we get to see first-hand the abundant wildlife and overall health of Arizona habitats.
My most recent painting is a portrait of a bald eagle that was rescued, but not recovered enough to return to the wild. He comes to the state Capitol annually to show off his regal beauty and help get everyone interested in Arizona bald eagles. I fell in love with him!
I hope you have a chance soon to see the beauty of Arizona deserts and forests. You might even get to see a group of bald eagles in the wild, as we've had the privilege of seeing. Our state lands are precious and well-worth the effort to preserve!
