These paintings represent my different approaches to the miniature. The 5" square work from 2004, Small Lives of the Southern Highlands, consists of 35 individual animal paintings created as part of a fund-raising exhibit for the Southern Highlands Nature Conservancy. Currently, I'm painting on handmade coil-bound books and placing them in Riker Specimen Mounts (used for insect collections). I like the way it twists the notion of specimens---is it the book? the painting? the creature in the painting? or the idea?
