Collared Peccary, aka Javelina; White-Nosed Coati up in a tree; Black-Throated Sparrows ; these are some of the critters I am seeing around my place. The Javelinas raid my bird feeder every day. I go out to try and scare them away, but they just look at me and resume munching down the seeds. I believe Coatis are in the raccoon family, they are a bit larger with very long tails - cute!
I currently work with oil paints and charcoal, and my work is influenced by the flora and fauna of my surroundings. I live west of Minneapolis on 120 acres that includes woods, wetlands, and 50 acres of native prairie.
In addition to painting I am also a riding instructor and trainer, focusing on Dressage.
