About This Work

Painting of fossilized conifer seed cone from specimen, on 300 lb cold press paper. I volunteer as a fossil preparator at an amazing natural history museum.Like most people, I am fascinated by dinosaurs, and beyond that, I was surprised to feel a deep and comforting connection with paleontology--fossils are messages from the past and our future.My goal in painting is to present fossils in a visually interesting way to encourage others indeveloping a sense of continuity of the earth and our lives in the universe. I use watercolor to focus on the beauty and diversity of fossils, combining the science of paleontology with visual exploration of fossils.I work in a paleo lab at the museum, and also at quarry sites throughout Utah (Dinosaurland) where I have collected charcoal matrix which is removed from around the bones.I mix watercolor paint with the ground charcoal, so that the subjects of the paintings are truly millions of years old.
