Hello! I live in the beautiful mountains of North Carolina but also enjoy visiting the coastal areas whenever possible. I have been studying birds for 40+ years and have also enjoyed art. My concern for wildlife preservation, along with my life long hobbies, merge together as I now create paintings of the things I love most...birds. One of my favorite quotes by the late, well known artist and ornithologist, Roger Tory Peterson, is "Birds not rooted to the ground, are one of the most eloquent expressions of life."
My acrylic paintings are entirely unique as I use my own photographs as reference material. I use the fine art printmaking studio “Double Exposure” to help me create my Giclee prints. They are located in Fletcher, NC. Please be sure to check them out at doubleexposureart.com.

WHAT IS A GICLEE PRINT?
Please read the following, from Double Exposure's Website, to understand what a Giclee print is:
The art of fine art printing has become even more precise with the advent of the revolutionary Giclee (ghee-clay) printing process. A giclee print is as rewarding visually as it is technically amazing. For brilliant, exquisite color and razor sharp detail is unsurpassed. This type of art reproduction is quickly becoming the new standard in the art industry, and is widely embraced for its quality by major museums, galleries, publishers, and artists. A Giclee Print is simply the closest duplication of an original artwork that is humanly, mechanically, or technically possible.
•The cornerstone of this process is enhanced digital ink jet printing. The printers are specifically designed for the rigorous and precise criteria of fine art collectors and connoisseurs of museum quality, limited edition prints.
•The word Giclee itself is French, and means spurt or squirt, in this case meaning, "spray of ink". Once completed an image is comprised of literally billions of droplets of ink. The latest Giclee Printing Technology enhanced the standard 4-color process to an 8-color process.
•The resulting print has no perceptible dot pattern, an endless array of richly saturated color, and every nuance of the original image. The most archival, water based lightfast inks available in the world are used. The latest inks offer a 150 year light-fastness and UV-resistance under museum archival condition.
•Beyond this description, a Giclee Print simply must be seen to be fully appreciated. Fine Art Galleries across the country are warmly receiving GICLEE.
•Giclee prints have an impressive exhibition record. They have been shown in museums and galleries throughout the world.
