Cactus Wren at Camelback Mountain

Gouache paint on paper

This painting was inspired by my childhood growing up in Arizona. Even though I’ve spent over half my life in Utah now, some of the best childhood memories I have happened near this beautiful desert mountain.

Happy Birthday Jonathan

Inspired by the recent birthday of the world’s oldest living land animal, a tortoise named Jonathan, who turned 191

Mimzy

Gouache paint on paper

These four paintings were created as a present to my little sister. They depict her incredibly nosey and intrusive cat named Mimzy, who always gets in my way or closely stares into my soul each time I try to work or simply sit in her presence.

Animal Alphabet - Z

Gouache paint on paper

This painting was created for a class project where we were assigned to create a page for an animal alphabet book. Each of my classmates lined up to randomly draw a letter out of a hat, and I was 'lucky' enough to receive the letter Z. With much trial and error, I ended with a zorilla in a jacuzzi eating pizza. For anyone curious, I got an A.
