My earliest memory is sitting at a small table next to my dad's in his studio. I've rarely been without a pen in my hand since. 

The "Watershed Illustrations" in this show are both rigorously researched and intuitively rendered. They are finely detailed, yet dynamic and invitational. I hope you feel that you can smell the ruckus of sunlight on the pines, be held in a nest of holy roots, and dive into waters beneath the swirling night sky. It is a great joy and honor to illuminate the abundant biodiversity of place in line and color on the page. 

There is a pattern of collaboration throughout all of creation; each species could not exist without a web of others. I love that, in this show with my dad, you can see how my artwork grows in relationship to his. In my life as a parent, community gardener, community spiritual leader, and artist, I am never far away from the understanding of how we are all held in the sacred family of all things. These illustrations are shouts of praise for getting to be a creature among creatures on this incredible planet.
