“I continually use all tools available to me to create the feeling of fur and feathers and to capture the unique moment in the life of my animal subjects.”

Over the years she has also developed a unique art form, she calls Scrimstone; based on the art of Scrimshaw practiced by ancient sailors, in which she inscribes animals on stone using inks and dyes to enhance the form.
