My Bio
Strangely, I have college degrees in anthropology and a medical field, not in art. My real art teacher, Joris Hoefnagel, died 400 years ago, but taught me by the examples he left, now housed in the Getty Museum, the National Gallery of Art, and in European museums. From him I learned to love painting detailed watercolors of just about anything, but mostly insects, bones and orchids, which are my favorite subjects. To me, almost nothing made by humans is as fascinating as things made by evolution and nature (except for art, of course)...

In the meantime I've learned to do tattooing, I've done all sorts of new artwork, and I've been helping out in a friend's tea shop (I love the tea business). I'm also showing art in a local show at a tattoo studio in town, that show opens April 1st. The owner is awesome, and her new shop is going to be unique among the tattoo shops in the neighborhood.

Phipps class ends
0 min read
My botanical art classes at the Phipps Conservatory only last for six weeks, so today we had our last class for winter. It always makes me a little sad....I wish the classes could go on for longer, I know that I could better teach my watercolor techniques if I had more time. But then again, now I have my Saturdays open so that I can go to other arts events and do commission work on the weekends. I also get to teach another class in summer, and I may offer a calligraphy class at the Phipps this fall.
But these classes aren't just me teaching students, because I learn from them too. Sometimes my art students are already professional illust

Thanks for posting the drawing. I have always been intimidated by pinecones as subjects (it's that whole mathematical placement of the scales), but this reminds me to get out there and paint them.
Just go and do it. Don't let fear stop you.
