What is the aim or goal of your writing: I’ve been creating fine art and conceptual illustration for many years. My work has appeared on award-winning novels ranging from mysteries and science fiction, to books based on the X-Files TV series, to Newbery Award-winning books for children. I also create portraits of people and wildlife, translating what I feel and what my mind sees into a physical image, its meaning malleable. Recently I’ve concentrated on a body of work centering on ordinary backyard wildlife capturing the unique qualities of light interacting with the natural world, including luminous photographs of honey bees and small birds in flight, glowing fireflies mating and hovering over twilight fields, mosquitoes with a belly full of blood, and new-born praying mantis nymphs emerging from their egg cases. I’m primarily concerned with portraying light and emotion, experimenting as much as possible, and finding the image through chance and discovery.
