My cover illustration for a new book about Thoreau, based on the frontispiece of Walden.
A few sketches from a few days on a seabird island 23 miles offshore from Rockland, Maine, with Audubon’s Seabird Institute. Featuring: Arctic terns, Atlantic puffins, black guillemots, razorbills, seals, bindweed flowers, bird blinds, granite, a lighthouse, scientist Gemma Clucas, John Drury’s lapstrake dory, and scenes from the Vinalhaven–Rockland ferry.
Sketches from a week as a “Puffin Islands” instructor for the National Audubon Society at Hog Island, Maine (with a trip to Eastern Egg Rock).
A glimpse into my recent art residency, via Instagram posts. Each post contains multiple images that you can scroll through laterally without leaving this page. (If you do end up on Instagram, look for more sketches under Stories!) Other versions of this art collection can be found on Twitter, on Facebook, and in my gallery-in-progress.
