So naturally, you're also studying the flora and fauna that the birds inhabit, right? So for the project that you're working on, Will you mainly be using your skills as a science illustrator or are you using different types of media?

I use my training as a science illustrator as a jumping off point for the work that I create for myself.

But also think about what I'm feeling in the moment when I share a moment with that bird.

And how can that be represented in artwork to share the wonder and the spark of joy you feel when you're out in nature.

But my project is still very much in the works because with any large scale project, there are different logistical factors to figure out.

Can I do this? And if so, how can I make this? So I am in the process of drawing about 75 different bird species in flight.

My list at this moment in time stands at 118 species observed in this location.

But when I'm listening to you tell me about everything you're working on, all I keep thinking about is how did you get here? So like, have you always had a relationship to birds and nature throughout your life?
