About this collection:
Warblers of North America - As a nature illustrator I am continuously inspired by the creatures I see in my surrounding environment. Having spent many hours outside observing birds, ornithology is a primary part of my portfolio. This series of work focuses solely on warblers I spotted on my drive from Maine to California last year, highlighting the incredible biodiversity of species in North America.
